Cool list.
One of the entries 'Cap' describes one thing and links to another though. The description is of a collaborative code editor. The link and screenshot are for a Loom alternative, so screen recording.

The article also reminded me of this Charlie Munger quote:
“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people
like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not
stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”

In the fiction category I thouroughly enjoyed the "Green Bone Saga" by Fonda Lee:
- Jade City
- Jade War
- Jade Legacy

On jamstack.org's list of static generators[0] you can filter by template language. For "R markdown" it only has:
Bookdown[1], Rmarkdown as you mentioned, and Blogdown[2].
I've never looked at R markdown before. Thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole with Bookdown. It might solve one of the questions I'm currently thinking about.

Compared to more modern tools Jira is actually not very flexible.
For me the most flexible and useful tools are Kanbanize[0] and Kaiten[1].
Both companies are engaged in furthering the Kanban method which also means they care about having a lot of features for displaying cards, limiting work in progress, defining workflows and have solutions for working together on bigger workflows with several teams.
I use both professionally.
A lot of other solutions have assumptions built in which really limit flexibility. One example in Jira is the coupling between workflow status and columns on boards.

A great book in the same vein is: Understanding UNIX/Linux-Programming by Bruce Molay.[0]
It also delves into the basic tools and then writes them from scratch. I found it quite inspiring as to where to spend time while learning UNIX.

Looks very promising.
Do you have a timeline for collaboration features? I’m already using NotePlan for myself and am looking for a similar feature set for use with my teams (and cross-platform). It looks like Organizely might fit perfectly.

As a small business owner in Europe I have the same perspective. Maybe it's even just a gut feel of "if I pay money it's a more serious business relationship and I can depend on some rules", e.g. SLAs and data handling.
The thing I immediately look for as well is GDPR information.
Besides all that: it looks like a great solution! :-)

My favorite related (not a power law distribution) example of this: life expectancy grows with age.
For some people that's really intuitive and others can use it as a more practical stepping stone on the way to understanding what happens in projects.
