Jira Attachment Management Apps Compared: Bulk Downloader vs Attachment Reviewer

· 11 min read

Jira issues accumulate attachments fast -- screenshots from QA, log files from production incidents, design mockups from product, contracts from legal. Before long, a single project can hold thousands of files across hundreds of issues. Two questions come up repeatedly: "How do I download all of these at once?" and "How do I make sure the right files -- and only the right files -- are attached?"

NGPILOT builds two apps that address these questions from different angles. Simple Bulk Attachment Downloader for Jira handles bulk exports -- downloading many attachments in one organized ZIP. Attachment Reviewer for Jira handles inbound control -- enforcing file type and size policies on every upload. This post compares both in detail so you can decide which one your team needs (or whether you need both).

Best Diagram Tool for Confluence — Mermaid vs Excalidraw vs Graphviz

· 8 min read

Looking for the best diagram tool for Confluence? Confluence has no built-in diagramming, so every team adds a Marketplace app — but the right choice depends entirely on what you draw and how you prefer to work. This guide compares the three strongest options — Mermaid Plus for Confluence, Excalidraw plus Whiteboards for Confluence, and Graphviz Charts for Confluence — so you can pick the diagram tool that fits your team instead of guessing.

Quick answer

For most Confluence teams, Mermaid Plus is the best diagram tool — it covers the widest range (29 diagram types), is the easiest to learn, and renders text into diagrams that version cleanly with your docs. Pick Excalidraw Plus if you need freehand whiteboarding and wireframes. Pick Graphviz Charts for dense network and dependency graphs. Many teams install more than one.

What you'll learn
  1. Which diagram tool fits each type of Confluence team
  2. The strengths and trade-offs of Mermaid, Excalidraw, and Graphviz
  3. Pricing, hosting, and integration differences
