We've been using Confluence for a while but finally got fed up with it.<p>Slow, uses the worst adaptation of Markdown ever without much recourse around it, awful organization tools, and I can't find anything. Ever.<p>Overall, there's too much going on for too little gain.<p>Any recommendations for an alternative?
I think the experience with Confluence depends entirely on how it's run but I agree. Still not as bad as SharePoint.<p>I've recently discovered Nuclino (<a href="https://www.nuclino.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nuclino.com/</a>) and rolled it out in our team in place of Confluence.<p>It's a pretty neat markdown wiki built on top of ProseMirror. There are some trade-offs (such as the lack of a self-hosted solution) but so far it made my life a lot easier: the UI is better, the search works as it should, the setup and maintenance are minimal.<p>If you're looking for a self-hosted solution, MediaWiki or DokuWiki might be better options.
GitLab has a wiki component.[0] Redmine and Trac are other ticket/scm tools with wiki.[1][2]<p>[0] - <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/wiki/</a><p>[1] - <a href="https://www.redmine.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.redmine.org/</a><p>[2] - <a href="https://trac.edgewall.org/" rel="nofollow">https://trac.edgewall.org/</a>
I haven't actually tried it yet, but <a href="https://www.notion.so/" rel="nofollow">https://www.notion.so/</a> caught my eye recently. As far as Confluence goes, I also have problems with search, and missing notifications for comment threads.
We've been working on Papyrs (<a href="https://papyrs.com" rel="nofollow">https://papyrs.com</a>) for this, would be great to hear your thoughts!
