I made a video of my current org-cite setup at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ta4J20kpmM. You can also find a link to the code to run it in the description there. I don't intend this to be a final video (it is still a little rough!), it is just to help people see what I am thinking about for the future of org-ref, at least as far as the citations go.
