Re:Ask HN: Does anyone use online standup tools? by darkblackcorner on Tuesday August 15, 2017 @10:02AM (#15018221)
I've seen them being used, eg. the /standup command in hipchat, but not a huge fan. Obviously Skype or similar for remote teams.

TBH I always think of standups as being as informal and brief as possible, and physical interaction promotes better comms within the team.

If it's causing real problems, why not suggest a low-tech solution like keeping notes?

exactly, its not the problems I am worried about. I do think engineers coming to the standup with some thoughts just make the standup exponentially more useful. Totally agree with the informal-ness
