Productivity software has an unusual property: users adopt it personally and then drag it into their organisation. That makes it one of the few categories where a good single-user tool has a credible path to a team product.
The projects here are worth reading for their data models as much as their features — a sane, portable model is what makes an eventual sync or collaboration layer possible.
