Several grumpy opinions about remote work & videoconferencing

In this candid reflection on remote work and videoconferencing tools, the author shares insights from their experience as a fully remote company. They discuss experimenting with various technologies such as Notion for note-taking, which, despite some limitations, remains the best option tried. Keybase was initially used for team chats but was replaced by Slack due to performance issues, even though Slack has its own shortcomings. Gmail is used primarily for external communication, enhanced by the Streak CRM for email integration. Videoconferencing tools have been a significant area of exploration, with Zoom and Whereby being the primary choices for external and internal meetings, respectively. The author notes that while Zoom is widely used, it has limitations, and Whereby, although promising, needs improvement for broader use. Additionally, they highlight the effectiveness of using iPads and AirPods for videoconferencing, emphasizing the importance of personal microphones for reducing ambient noise.
