Ask HN: Which project does not have any good open-source alternatives?

Qualitative Data Analysis systems. RQDA and QualCoder are under development, but the pace is generally slow and many features are buggy and remain untested on common operating systems. Some products out there on the market are better than others (I use MaxQDA) but come at a hefty price, even with a student discount.

Also transcription software. Not voice recognition, but software that assists with manual transcription. I'm amazed that no open source alternative to F5 exists out there, since it's a relatively simple mechanism (keyboard shortcuts to denote speaker, paste timestamp, include annotations, etc and ability spool back to rewind 2 seconds).

Hi, qualcoder developer here. Yes qualcoder has some bugs, and limited testing on Mac OS or Windows for now. However, thanks for the advice regards manual transcription with key shortcuts, I will try and incorporate that idea. There is another free qual web-based product called Taguette www.taguette.org which you might be interested in.

Wouldn't creating a plugin for the likes of VLC or contributing directly to OpenShot be a better idea?
