Pre-Covid, teams I worked in were all co-located so I used to find sharing knowledge and discussing what needs to be done and how much easier. We did document in Google Docs etc but any gaps were largely filled by tapping on someone's shoulder, a quick discussion, or a live meeting.

Now that we're all remote (and async), I find all document tools severely lacking. I can't put a finger on it but I find them highly unproductive for collaboration, long running discussions around a topic, and to keep information organized.

Curious what your frustrations are with these tools? Have you found anything better?
