Hi! Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't aware of Citations. It does looks pretty neat! I probably wouldn't have started working on Bada Bib! if Citations had existed 2 years ago :) On the other hand, Bada Bib! has some more advanced features, so maybe both apps complement each other.

I think for Bada Bib! I will stick with the "non-adaptive" layout for now. During the libadwaita port I experimented with a layout similar to the one used by Citations, but then decided against it. My main problem is that there is no adaptive version of GTK's Paned widget (yet), so the width of the left panel cannot be changed by the user. This leads to a lot of wasted space on regular/large monitors. I think Citations suffers from the same problem. It adapts well to small screens, but not so much to big screens. And there probably are still a lot more people editing their references on monitors than on tablets or smartphones...
