Ask HN: What file formats do you use at work?
7 points by Mockapapella on Jan 3, 2021 | hide | past | favorite | 9 comments
I'm working on a side project to help makers with project management and would like a way to view docx, pdf, xlsx, and stl files from within the app. What other file formats should I include?



Markdown, ASCII/UTF-8 text, PDF, JSON


^ This plus YAML.


pptx. The ODF equivalents of all of those, since we use LibreOffice a lot. markdown is not as common, but probably a comparatively easy one to implement.


Mostly csv, xlsx, pdfs and markdown files


docx,xslx, pptx, txt, jpg, png, java, ts, sql, properties, yaml, pdf, xml


PNG, Jpeg, mp4, etc.


geojson, topojson, which is then displayed on a map


obj, dwg, dxf, fbx


csv

txt

ods, odt (etc)

png, jpg, svg (etc)
