Hi there,

not my personal feedback - but i guess maybe your also interested in it:

just in case you haven’t seen it - Jabref in a comparison by the Sächsiche Landesbibliothek from Juli 2018 with Pro and Cons:

Thanks for the feedback and regarding the cons with SharedDatabase:  
There has been some improvement over the time and we also have an issue/PR which was a proof of concept for the connection with sharelatex/overleaf. [https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/2866](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/2866)

Not saying that integreation with collabotative tools hurts- but actually i think they do not mean “working together on a text” by that - but what is mentioned in the cooperation lines.

Sharing library datasets with others, and working/editing together using the same the literature manager.  
As my main focus for jabref ist the literature managment and not writing texts using it - this is what i want to establish at some point also.

This is exactly what is already possible using the SharedSQL Database. [Page Redirection](http://help.jabref.org/en/SQLDatabase)  
The idea of the sharelatex/overleaf integration was/is simliar. Only syncing of the bib files’s contents. Not collaboratively editing text.
