I've been doing some writing things where they use Docx and I use Markdown (have been since before the LLM craze). Boy is it annoying to go back and forth, will be trying the one direction anyhow

What this evidence does not show yet

To reach Corroborated we still need:

  • 1 more independent post(s) — we have 2

No first-hand payment statement is on record here, so this page carries no pricing suggestion. A price with no payment evidence behind it is a guess wearing a number.

Scoring summary

Evidence confidence = strength × evidence volume × source diversity × payment × competition × trend × 10. Counts use independent content items; only first-hand pain, current spend, explicit willingness to pay and concrete feature requests affect the score. Repeated posts by one author are discounted. Scoring and status changes follow deterministic rules.

“Payment-backed” means first-hand payment evidence exists in the record. It does not mean the business is worth building. “Fading” is a recency tag shown alongside any evidence level, not a lower level. Read the full methodology.
