I just got into the best-collaboration-tools rabbit hole again—here's my current conclusion
@haglobah

When starting a side project with friends, it takes at most two weeks until I crave to use tools like:

  • An issue tracker/To Do-list/kanban board thing

  • A wiki

  • A whiteboard

And every single time, have to be strong to resist the urge to search for something that looks just that bit cleaner, has this one feature more, and so on.

The last two times, that worked, but today I failed. Or did I succeed? I think I found tools that are just that little bit cleaner and have this one more feature:

  • For the issue tracker/Kanban Board: Height. I used Github projects so far—but man, are those auto-drafts annoying.

  • For the wiki: For the last project I used Bookstack—now I'm going to go with Outline: It's open source and self-hostable like Bookstack, but looks way cleaner.

  • For the whiteboard: The last times I went with Miro, but that has been a pain performance-wise. Let's see how FigJam will do.


Happy collaborating!
