GitHub GitHub acts as a repository for coding projects, allowing for public (and with paid plans private) collaboration, version control, and community troubleshooting. A user publishes their project code either via the web interface or from a Bash shell command line, and a project administrator can solicit feedback and changes, and then either approve or decline suggested changes. GitHub tracks all changes made and suggested, allowing for a project to take several forking paths, and ultimately return to any prior state. |
Buffer Buffer is a tool for coordinating posts across multiple social media accounts with a single sign-in, tracking their performance, and targeting posts toward specific audiences (a fun picture might do well on Instagram or Pinterest, where a text-heavy post may be better suited for Twitter or Facebook, for instance). It allows you to schedule multiple posts at a time, and has apps for web, iOS, and Android, all of which let you use the scheduling calendar at the $15 "pro" tier. |
Microsoft Teams This tool is available as a downloadable software, in a web platform, and as a mobile app, facilitating group communication, file sharing, and integration with a number of productivity apps. Teams is scalable from a very large organization down to a small group, with the ability to manage members and create subgroups. Because it's a Microsoft Office product, it naturally integrates with other Office products like OneNote, Word, Powerpoint, etc., but there's also a sizable developer community creating third-party integration, such as with Adobe Creative Cloud, Twitter, and more. There are multiple chat functions, from one-on-one messaging, to group forums, to direct notifications. |
Adobe Spark Adobe Spark is a web and app platform that provides simple functionality to create social graphics, newsletters, and videos, either using stock images or with those uploaded by the user. Spark provides a variety of fonts, effects, and icons that can be incorporated into the uploaded image, which can be "remixed" using presets and color schemes established by Adobe to create quick, snappy graphics for use on a variety of media platforms. |
