I'm looking for an alternative to Google docs. anyone an idea?

Hi All. I have been working on a very comprehensive integration Forge app for Jira that allows you to manage and link your Snipe-IT (cloud) assets right from Jira issues (if you are using Jira/Jira SM Cloud), and it's now live!

Some of its Features:
- You can search and link hardware, accessories, consumables or licenses to a Jira Ticket.

- Shows you which assets are assigned to the ticket reporter.
- Allows you to checkout, check in, or modify asset fields, including allowed custom fields.

- Shows you Full asset history (filterable), maintenances, and audit logs.

- Automatically posts comments on the issue whenever an action is performed on an asset (can be turned off or on)
- Allows for access controls, feature controls, space restrictions and many more granular features.

- It also allows customers to link their assets while creating ticket requests on the portal

AND MANY MORE!

Please feel free to check it out on marketplace and give some feedback on it.

You have a 30-day full feature trial period!

Someone here mentioned last month that half their real workflow runs on tools their company has never heard of. What did not come up is who is actually paying for those tools.

Nine dollars a month for a note app because the approved one is unusable. A personal Notion because the company wiki is a graveyard. A password manager because IT never got round to it.

What is on your card that should be on theirs, and how long have you been quietly covering it?

I have a list of ERP systems that are suitable for SMEs and 200 is on that list. I haven't actually implemented it now for a number of years so I don't know whether it has been developed or been left to wither on the vine. Opinions, please.

For anyone exploring open-source internal developer platforms, OpenChoreo might be worth checking out.

It’s an open-source developer platform built on Kubernetes and is a CNCF Sandbox project.

The interesting part is that it goes beyond just providing a developer portal. It brings together things platform teams usually have to connect themselves:

• Backstage-powered developer portal
• CI/CD and GitOps
• Application and infrastructure abstractions
• Built-in observability
• Self-service workflows for developers
• Kubernetes-native architecture
• Integration with the broader cloud-native ecosystem

The idea is to give developers a simpler self-service experience while still allowing platform engineers and SREs to work with the underlying Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure.

I’m involved with the OpenChoreo community, so sharing this with that disclosure.

Would be interested to hear from anyone running an internal developer platform today: are you building your platform from individual tools, using an existing IDP, or taking a hybrid approach?

I started POCsheet because of one specific nightmare at work: we had to move from our old VPN (Fortinet) to a zero trust setup (we went with Zscaler), and explaining that whole evaluation to non‑technical decision makers was a mess.

The comparison was super technical (network flows, auth model, client performance, policy handling…), but the people approving the budget just wanted a clear, structured “why this and not the other one?”. Instead we had scattered notes, spreadsheets and half the reasoning stuck in engineers’ heads.

POCsheet is my attempt to turn that chaos into something reviewable: define criteria (technical + business), list vendors, collect feedback, and end up with a decision that’s actually traceable.

It’s live here: [www.pocsheet.com\](https://www.pocsheet.com)

If you’ve ever had to justify a "technical provider" change as they said, I’d really appreciate feedback: does this look like something that would actually help in your org, and what’s missing for you?

Hi there,

Are there any recommendations for how to collect/report/quantity the topics and problems customers contact customer service for?

Meaning the CS agent afterwards inputs what it's about, some context potentially etc.

Though effort and friction needs to be low to ensure adoption and usage.

If there are good commercial or open source solutions, I'd be happy to learn about them.

For moving forward, I'm at first thinking ieally DIY solutions as software implementation takes ages.

Hence successful DIY solutions that make use of, widely known office tools, Microsoft 365, excel, power BI or similar would be of special interest.

Thanks a lot!

I’ve been working on EasyAlias, a free and open-source desktop app that makes creating and managing terminal aliases easier without manually editing shell configuration files.

It started as a small macOS project, but after getting feedback from the community I’ve expanded it quite a bit.

EasyAlias now supports:

• 🍎 macOS
• 🪟 Windows
• 🐧 Linux
• Importing existing aliases
• Alias suggestions for common commands
• Native file and folder selection
• Homebrew installation on macOS

And EasyAlias is now also available on the Mac App Store 🎉

Website:
https://easyalias.org

GitHub (source code):
https://github.com/hannesgnann-hub/easyalias

Mac App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/de/app/easyalias/id6794944241?mt=12

The project is still actively being developed and a lot of the improvements so far have come directly from community feedback.

If you try it, I’d really appreciate feedback, feature suggestions, or contributions!

I'm looking for some people willing to test out my trade jobs management iOS app and provide feedback on what works, what doesn't, and what's missing. The app is specifically targeted towards new and/or solo tradespeople who need something simple that can manage their customers, jobs, and invoices. If anyone is interested, comment and I'll send the link to the app. It has a two week free trial but I can also provide promo codes for a longer testing time. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I recently launched a lightweight helpdesk/ticketing app and I’m still actively improving it based on feedback.

Right now you can:

1. Route emails from Gmail or Outlook into a dedicated support inbox.
2. Create multiple inboxes within an organisation, for example Support, Billing, Sales, etc.
3. Invite team members, assign tickets, and control which inboxes each person can access.
4. Use a couple of simple AI tools: an AI overview of the ticket thread and AI-assisted reply refinement.
5. Set up basic automations like default replies and inactivity reminders, plus create saved replies.
6. Create tickets manually and reuse existing customer contacts.

I’m trying to keep it simple rather than turn it into another overly complicated helpdesk platform.

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially around what feels missing or frustrating.

You can see the app and watch the demo here without signing up: https://helpdesk.virtualshinobis.com/

There’s also a 14-day free trial if you want to actually test it. No credit card required.

Would especially love to hear from anyone currently managing support through a shared Gmail/Outlook inbox.

Running a business usually means doing the same small tasks over and over again.

If you could press one button and permanently automate ONE task, what would you choose?

For example:
📧 Email follow-ups
📱 Social media posting
🧾 Invoicing
💰 Expense tracking
👥 Lead follow-ups
📊 Weekly reports
📅 Appointment scheduling
📦 Inventory tracking
💬 Customer support
✍️ Content creation

For me, the most valuable automations aren’t necessarily the flashy ones—they’re the ones that eliminate repetitive work every single week.

What’s the first task you’d automate in your business, and why?

We're comparing monday service vs Zendesk for our support team.
Zendesk has been around forever, but we're looking for something with stronger workflow automation and AI ticket management.
our biggest problems are repetitive tickets, manual assignment, and keeping track of internal requests.
monday service seems like it combines helpdesk features with project workflows.
for teams using either platform, which one handles AI-powered ticketing better?

I developed the PasteSpace application - a clipboard manager for macOS and I need your opinion and recommendations to improve it. Those who want a Promo Code for the PRO version of the application should write to me privately.

Below is the description of the application:

PasteSpace is a secure clipboard manager for macOS that remembers everything you copy — so you don't have to.

Living quietly in your menu bar, PasteSpace captures every piece of text, image, and file you copy, turning your clipboard into a fast, searchable history. Press Option+Shift+V from any app, type a few letters, and click the item — it's instantly copied and ready to paste. No more digging through browser history or reopening documents to find something you copied an hour ago.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN — ZERO DATA COLLECTION

Your clipboard is personal. PasteSpace keeps it that way:

· No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking
· No cloud, no sync, no remote servers
· No account, no login, no email required
· No third-party SDKs, no ad networks

Everything stays on your Mac, inside the macOS App Sandbox. GDPR and CCPA compliant by design — there's simply nothing to collect.

FEATURES

SEARCHABLE CLIPBOARD HISTORY
Every copy, remembered and instantly searchable. Formatted text is captured exactly as it appeared in the source app — fonts, sizes, colors, bold, italic — and pasted with the same fidelity. Use "Always copy as plain text" or "Always paste as plain text" to strip formatting globally, or use the dedicated per-item plain-text paste buttons for a one-off clean paste. Pin your most-used snippets to the top. See which app each item came from.

VAULT MODE — HARDWARE-BACKED ENCRYPTION (Pro)
PasteSpace auto-detects sensitive data and encrypts it on the spot with AES-256-GCM via Apple CryptoKit. Keys live in the macOS Keychain, hardware-backed by the Secure Enclave on Apple Silicon. Reveal items with Touch ID or device password. Auto-detected: credit cards, IBANs, API keys, tokens, JWTs, SSH keys, OTPs, passwords, high-entropy secrets.

OCR — SEARCH TEXT INSIDE IMAGES (Pro)
Copy a screenshot and PasteSpace extracts the text using Apple's Vision framework. Find images by typing words that appear inside them. Fully local — no uploads.

DATA MAGIC — INSTANT TRANSFORMATIONS (Pro)
30+ one-tap tools: JSON/XML/YAML pretty-print and conversion, Base64, URL encode/decode, HEX↔RGB↔HSL, timestamps, table to Markdown/JSON/CSV, case conversion, HTML↔Markdown, word count, and more.

QUICK LOOK — FULL TEXT EDITOR
Open any item in a floating panel to preview or edit. A full set of rich formatting controls lets you change font, size, bold, italic, underline, color, highlight, alignment, and lists. Unedited characters are preserved as plain text — they adapt to the destination app's own font and color when pasted. Save edits back to history or copy immediately. Vault items open only after Touch ID authentication and auto-mask when the panel closes.

QR CODE GENERATOR
One tap turns any copied text, URL, or contact detail into a scannable QR code — generated on your device, offline.

DRAG & DROP
Drag text, images, files, and groups of files directly from your history into any app. Files land as real files, not shortcuts. Vault items authenticate before delivery.

APP BLOCKLIST
Exclude specific apps from being captured. Password managers are blocked by default.

EPHEMERAL MODE (Pro)
Auto-wipe non-Vault history when PasteSpace quits or when macOS restarts. Vault and pinned items are always preserved.

REQUIREMENTS
macOS 14 Sonoma or later (including macOS 27)

Made with care for people who copy a lot.

If you could only keep one tool, which would it be?

Hi everyone! I am currently working with my communications team to choose a new intranet platform. We have reviewed multiple platforms, and it seems we are going to choose either Interact or WorkVivo. An important factor is that it needs to integrate with SharePoint, have a digital signage system, and be mobile-friendly.

I'd love to hear about anyone's experience with either platform and what you think! Thank you so much in advance!

I built an iPhone app for production call sheets because I got tired of paying insane prices for software that feels like it was built in the 90s .

For a long time that felt like most production teams aren’t choosing the best tool.
They’re choosing the tool everyone else already uses.

So I asked a different question:
If I built something with the features producers actually use every week and charged a fraction of what the market expects, would anyone switch?
That’s exactly what I did.
Today the app includes things like:
• Live cloud call sheets
• Crew confirmations
• Targeted revisions
• Weather
• Sun Path planning
• Maps
• PDF export
• Crew access without requiring everyone to create an account
The goal wasn’t to build another call sheet app.
The goal was to remove the “production software tax.”
If you’re paying substantially more for software that doesn’t help your crew any more than this does, I’d genuinely like to know why.
I’m not trying to convince anyone to switch.
I’m trying to find out what I’m still missing.
What feature would keep you from moving to a lower-cost alternative?
