Hi Jenny. Yep, couldn’t agree with you more, though I’ve been using Hyperresearch because it’s Mac friendly. But no, I experimented with a couple of workarounds but it was like trying to build a Corvette out of washing machine parts. There’s action around bib type material, with links among Papers and Bookends and Scrivener, but no one seems to have linked Scrivener with QDA software. If I had the tech savvy and the time I’d do it and get rich and just buy the Corvette. The “qualitative” market continues to grow, and it’s more about writing than more traditional social research.
