   I built a documentation platform [1] for work since I didn't want to worry about licensing costs (With something like Confluence) being a factor, limiting potential access, when it comes to documenting and sharing knowledge. I also wro

   I totally agree, everything about the tv license system just feels outdated, desperate and confusing. I still have trouble understanding what they consider to be "Live TV", especially with the YouTube example. Is that all live con

   I've been working on BookStack since 2015, as my first proper open source project, after not being able to find an existing open source, well-designed, ready-to-use (Without extensions customization) offering that would be easy to use

   I also love draw.io (now diagrams.net). Additionally it can be self-hosted if needed and it has a well built API for integration with other systems. Login is not required by the way, You can choose "Device" or "Decide Later&q

   Building a documentation platform (Think Confluence alternative). Thought it'd just be a case of hooking up a WYSIWYG editor and a database, and yet there's still plenty to do 5+ years later: https://www.bookstackapp.co

    I have not recently used confluence myself, but having created an open source project in the same space I have seen a few users migrate from confluence quoting speed as their main frustration & reason for migrating away. Has been the ca

    I created and maintain BookStack which is often used for many similar use-cases as confluence: https://www.bookstackapp.com/ Rather opinionated in design and structure though.

    Thanks for sharing on HN! I'm always tempted to share the releases or posts here but I always back out as I never feel the project is refined enough.

    Draw.io is a great application. I integrated it into BookStack (Documentation System) as a way for people to create and manage drawings in the platform. Was much easier than I expected and David (davidjgraph) was very supportive.
