> Not a feature, but an advantage: From what I can tell (I have only used PureRef so far) is that BeeRef has a open file format

Guess I should add news here: someone reverse engineered PureRef's file format[0] just few weeks ago[1,2]

I saw this post too; I didn't mention it here because it is not an officially documented file format structure. An open and documented format is almost always a better alternative, IMHO.


Yes, I fully agree on this.

Hope, maintainer of BeeRef fork would continue its development.[0]
