As a DIY-er, I found this app useful for sending push notifications instead of expensive SMS messages. I've been working on a custom home alarm system and the iOS push notification solution was super useful. Curious what others think.

We've tried scheduling 2-3 times per day where everyone should focus on PR review. It's quite easy to get lost in one's own tasks. This helps maintain the understanding that everyone needs to work together to move all features/bugs/chores/etc. along.

We also have a slack channel for pull requests, where everyone subscribed gets notified when someone posts a PR for review, or later for re-review.

I think timing and communication can be an issue on any team, especially with distributed resources (I'm remote). We regroup regularly as a team to discuss process, issues, and anything else on our minds. We experiment with solutions, and try again and again until something sticks. It's not always perfect the first time, but we end up with something that works for us. For now, we try to hold each other accountable to our scheduled times, and ping (and re-ping) on slack for reviews.

As an avid go user, I'm excited about these improvements, especially the garbage colleciton

I've been in that situation before. Are you a contractor or employee (w-2 vs 1099)? I've had people skip paying invoices. Also, once as an employee, the founders told me they were having financial troubles and wouldn't be able to pay me anymore. They asked me if I would work for free and I said no. They magically raised more money over the weekend to keep me on, but I left a couple weeks after that.

Try to get a clear picture from the co-founder what those "delays" are and what you can expect. Professional, non-emotional communication is important. If you don't like the answer, or don't receive one, mention that you will start looking elsewhere because you have bills to pay and working for free wasn't part of your hiring agreement.

Look through any documents you've signed to see what legal rights you have. It may need to end up in a small-claims court.

Good luck!

Here are some thoughts I've put together about some challenges experienced over the years. Fairly high level, and would love to hear your thoughts
