RIP my NVivo license 💔 I spent so much time learning to use this software, but I think it's time to find an #opensource alternative.

I am thinking #Taguette. Any other free NVivo alternates that folks like?

@owlyph Oh, interesting! I've been using NVivo for coding qualitative data. What do you see as the advantages of QualCoder over Taguette?

@adg It's been a while since I've tried Taguette (actually am a bit rusty with QualCoder too... just recently started refreshing myself). However, my memory was that Taguette had a narrower feature-set. Which might be a good thing if it's doing what you need. I felt like QualCoder was getting a bit closer in features to NVivo / similar workflow paradigm. I think it has various supports for audio/video but am not sure if Taguette is for that. Probably someone else here knows more than I do. 🙂

@adg Oh also, the interfaces are pretty different. If you want something browser-based vs. stand-alone desktop application.
