sampl commented on Ask HN: Examples of email-first projects or startups?    · Posted by u/victop

I made an email-only todo list called Dobby [1]

You send your tasks to dobby@dobbymail.com, and it'll send you a todo list every morning. You can reply to complete, postpone etc.

The point is to not have a separate place for seeing and managing a giant database of todos. You only ever see what's relevant now, and in the place you already look for everything else (email).

For anyone interested in this, I highly recommend the book The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, a psychiatrist who studies PTSD.

He writes about this clearly and elegantly—must read for those dealing with anxiety, and certainly with any traumatic stress.

OP here. I’ve been building my startup and recording the whole process on video.

Hi all, solo founder of Shuffleboard here.

Basically my philosophy on synchronous meetings is

1) they should happen as little as possible, especially in remote teams

2) when they do need to happen, they should be structured and timed, and everyone should be able to contribute without having to unmute.

Shuffleboard was built live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFP8wPiIB7kz7pbYCnjIc...

Yah, seriously.

The guy either green screened in a room from Versailles or he's rather well off.

Do you find recording your work and placing it on YouTube gives you greater self-accountability and helps keep you on task?
sampl · 5 years ago
I do--it slows down the work because of the effort of finding big blocks of time to record, but when I'm recording I know I'm on the clock to hit my goal.

Basically I know I need to have a worthwhile video title, so I can't fiddle for more than a minute or two!

I'm making all these remote meetings suck less with a real-time collaborative idea board.

The idea is that you can set up a meeting agenda, get everyone to add ideas, then discuss, vote and get consensus quickly:

Also I film all my work on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFP8wPiIB7kz7pbYCnjIc...
