Snowflake Challenge: Day 7

[lebateleur]

Challenge #7

Make a list of fannish and/or creative resources. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Want to record a podfic, edit together a soundtrack, or do something else cool with audio? Audacity is where it's at.

Forget Goodreads. If you want to retrieve trivia about a book or find on-point recommendations of similar things to read that you'll probably like, LibraryThing is where it's at.

Forget Microsoft. If you want to write, log your media consumption, or make a few icons, LibreOffice and Open Office are where it's at.

I also use The Story Graph instead of Goodreads (DEATH TO AMAZON CORP).

I had Open Office for the longest time (like the last three laptops), and then like this year someone explained to me that it had basically stopped updating ten years ago, and LibreOffice was the one with mod cons now. So I switched, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

Oh man, I didn't know LibraryThing still existed???? I remember it was THE goodreads alternative back in the day but I never got around to registering.

Thanks for the link to LibraryThing! I've been looking for an alternative to Goodreads.

Audacity ran into some hot water some time ago about possible privacy issues, which spawned a lot of forks, which also kind of mostly died, but a similar program named ocenaudio seemed to have survived and continued on, in case someone has issues with Audacity.

LibraryThing not only has friends in StoryGraph, but also in a project called BookWyrm that's trying to get itself off the ground, and could use people to both test it and possibly contribute to it as well.

Heck yeah, LibreOffice. It's been excellent at producing compatible documents and materials since a few releases ago, and has been my daily driver since.
