Hi guys, I want to expand the sticky "Where to start?" article with a section about switching services and digitial products (or have a post about that?).

Many alternatives where already discussed and I can look them up on the alternatives webpages. But if you want to name alternatives that are underrepresented, feel free to support me here.

(Based on various sharepics) these topics came into my mind, did I miss anything essential?

Re: Office Suite, i’m slowly persuading my work to move to all text based. Markdown to replace Word docs. Csv files and python scripts (streamlit, pandas, numpy, scipy, duckdb, plotly) to replace excel & power bi. Markdown and Slides to replace powerpoint. Git to replace sharepoint.

Imo, all corporate & government documentation should be in plaintext. Changes easily tracked, versioned, inspected, and audited.

Helix editor with markdown and python LSPs and formatters has been my stack for all my personal documentation/personal finance for years, so i know the approach works. And since it’s just plain text, anyone can use their preferred editor. Vim, emacs, etc
