Your list is useful! Thanks. I am using these software and tools:
=>Obsidian : I use it as a "library" to store notes.
=>Workflowy : It is a simpler way to stay organized.
=>iBoysoft MagicMenu : It helps me customize Finder's right-click menu on the MacBook Pro; now only one click is required to create new files, copy/move/send documents, instantly access files, software, and URLs etc.
=> XMind: Mindmapping
=> Zotero : for reference management and bookmarks
=> Zim-wiki : for notes and ideas

Zim-Wiki is free, super lightweight, simple, and fast. I use it many times a day to quickly jot down ideas/questions and sometimes write a daily journal. It's just text files, so I can manually edit them, sync them in a cloud service, etc. I never worry about data loss. You'll love it, too.

@harold_gary this is a very nice collection Harold :)
any reason for using Zim-wiki? would love to learn. because we have notion as well now and noticed notion is also well organized and easy to use.
FlowLayout
I recently switched out notion / google workspace for https://stash.new and I use Github for issue tracking / kanbanboards. Slack yes. No alternative to slack. For video calls, I use whatever the person calling me uses. I use apple notes for iPad Instead of Evernote. As for todo lists. I use stash.new for that too.

@sentry_co Andre, that's interesting to hear. would love to know more about what made you feel that stash.new is better than noiton/google workspace?
FlowLayout
@amit_arora 1. works on any device, no install, no login. 2. urls are secure, and easy to share. 3. has all you need and non of what you don't need. To sum it up: It's extremely frictionless.
Can't live without project management! For remote collaboration, tools like Asana or Trello are lifesavers. They keep everyone on the same page with clear task assignments, deadlines, and progress updates. Plus, being able to share files and leave comments within the platform eliminates unnecessary email chains and keeps everything organized.

@kan_singh Project management is the heart of every work that we do :)
I remember Trello is the first tool many years back that I started with and it has been mindblowing since then. It only evolved more with time.
Hey @amit_arora! 😄 These are some fantastic tools to stay organized and productive! I personally love using Trello for its visual appeal and Notion for its versatility. Google Workspace is my go-to for collaborative work. Have you tried using any integrations between these tools? They can make workflows super seamless! 😍
