Alternatives to footnotes?

Looks like the author hasn’t been able to find help in development so the plugin will no longer be updated. *Devastated*; it’s such a crucial part of my site and it’s not working with a new plugin that I wanted to use.

I’ve searched for alternatives that use the same (( footnote )) shortcode; so that my site won’t be a fulltime job updating all the posts that currently rely on it (nearly all my posts have up to a hundred references), and haven’t had any luck finding anything as awesome as this plugin.

I do hope that the plugin can be resurrected; but if anyone finds an alternative, please let me know! ??
