⚔️ Confluence vs Nuclino

🧙‍ How migrating from Confluence to Nuclino?

Should be able to import a page or space: import-from-confluence

  1. Import page doesn't work somehow: unsupported import format "doc".
    1. It looks like Confluence no longer allows exporting individual pages as .docx, the open and modern MS Word standard since 2007, but only .doc, a proprietary standard that is not supported by Nuclino. We'll investigate further and update our documentation. As an alternative, you should be able to copy/paste content from a Confluence page directly into Nuclino. Does that work?

  2. Import space doesn't work for me as well, can't find the option Space Settings → Content Tools in Confluence.
    1. It looks like you do not have permissions to export that space, otherwise there would be a "Export space" option in the "Manage space" section. Can you please check the permissions?

Result from copy/paste:

🎫 Is there a JIRA integration?

Yeah there is a plugin: integrate-nuclino-with-jira, I think I never ever used the Confluence Jira integration though... 🤔

📱 Does it have desktop apps?

Yeah! For each OS, even smartphones 😊 I did it this way on Ubuntu:

mkdir /home/tgotwig/AppImages
mv ~/downloads/Nuclino.AppImage /home/tgotwig/AppImages
chmod a+x /home/tgotwig/AppImages/Nuclino.AppImage
open /home/tgotwig/AppImages/Nuclino.AppImage

It should open a pop-up which asks you to register it via ~/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-nuclino-desktop.desktop, if you want to have this pop-up again then remove appimagekit-nuclino-desktop.desktop.

🎨 Has it draw.io integration?

Yeah it's similar to Confluence, but editing doesn't work when you click on edit from withing the desktop app (web app works), controls are looking a bit better than in Confluence I think (zoom in/out, edit, etc.).

Edit button doesn't open the actual file.

🎨 Which themes has it?

Has a light and dark theme.

📚 Does it has templates?

Here are some templates, away from that copy/paste a file is the way to go.

📚 How does table of contents work?

Doesn't have something like expandable container items, but has a table-of-contents always on the side for quick navigating and less scrolling, also the search always works (unlike to Confluence which doesn't search in closed expandable elements).

⏲️ Has it a history?

Yeah it provides a version-history with a nice slider.

🗣️ Can I discuss on pages?

Yeah you can.
