Notion
Notion became my default wiki/PM. Databases + relations + filtered views give me a lightweight CRM/roadmap without fighting a spreadsheet. Templates/AI and slash-commands make capture fast; embeds keep specs, Looms, and code snippets in one place. Downsides: performance on very large pages, granular permissions at scale, and offline still hit-or-miss. Versus Google Docs, Notion wins on structure; Obsidian wins on local-first speed. Four stars for flexibility with room to improve enterprise controls + offline.

GitHub
The backbone of our code flow: PR reviews, protected branches, and checks keep quality high. Actions CI/CD is powerful with reusable workflows; Dependabot/security alerts are lifesavers. Codespaces is great for onboarding, though not always the cheapest for heavy use. I’d love better monorepo search and more flexible billing for self-hosted runners. Against GitLab, GitHub’s ecosystem/community still wins; Bitbucket feels dated. Five stars for ubiquity + developer experience.
