How does this compare to zotero and why would I use it over that?

If you love Zotero as is, I'd say the app isn't for you. However, as far as I know, I have covered almost everything Zotero has, and I find the adoption stage to be easier than when I started using Zotero, and I like that it's a little easier on the eyes.

A couple of differences; Correct me if I'm wrong, is that Zotero doesn't natively allow many-to-many relationships, I sometimes have several different papers, that I am interested in for a couple different reasons, so being able to keep them assigned to different projects at the same time.

Another thing is keeping track of different versions of papers, linXiv has the ability to poll for new versions of the same paper across feeds you setup. I haven't had it come up yet, but it was one of the reasons I started linXiv. Thanks for your comment!
