I use the default elementary OS Mail and Calendar apps. While they have their limitations, they are still pretty handy in a pinch, and since I don’t send all that much email, and most of our meetings are informal, my needs are well covered.

We also tend to use Slack a lot. We also use Asana to manage the roadmap and the state of various projects and tasks, and this runs perfectly in a browser, so it’s another pinned tab.Finally, to handle communication with the dev team, we use Gitlab, with multiple boards. This is also handled through Firefox without any issues whatsoever.

LibreOffice. It’s a great office suite, it’s fast, it’s flexible, handles MS document formats pretty well, and looks good on elementary OS, once I switched it to a tabbed interface. I mostly work on the word processor and the spreadsheets, since I rarely have to give presentations.

For mockups, I tend to use GIMP, or more recently, GLIMPSE, just because its icon is nicer, if I’m honest. I’m used to it, and since I mainly work from screenshots that I then transform and tweak, it does a pretty good job.

The main one here is Notes Up. It’s a markdown note taking application, that’s designed for elementary OS, but I’m pretty sure you can find it somewhere else. It has nothing really special, but since it looks so nice on elementary, I stuck with it. Its note database is synced through pCloud to my main desktop at home, so I always have everything where I need it.

Obviously, I also use Firefox all the time, and Chromium a little bit less. I prefer Firefox, since I really like what the company is doing for the web in general, and I don’t want to give Google more power than it already has, so staying clear of their browsing engine is a priority for me. Still, since our webapp is used by real people, who, you know, use Chrome, I ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeLkPS4hsnw
