Re:Ask HN: Does anyone use online standup tools? on Tuesday August 15, 2017 @11:58AM (#15019378)
We built a tool to solve this exact problem called Standup. https://getstandup.com/. It produces daily progress reports for your engineering team by scanning git data.

We put our reports up the big screen every day during our in person Standups. Every engineer quickly runs through their work items and it definitely eliminates the whole "having to remember and plan on the go".

As a manager, I also love how it helps me catch up on my teams progress every evening as well.

Thanks, Tim. This should not be happening. We are looking into this and will patch the bug immediately.
Awesome, thank you very much for sharing these. I'll have a look.

Ask HN: REST API for Amazon Redshift

I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to query my Redshift cluster via a REST API? I'm building some analytics UI and would rather not have to stand up a separate service in order to query my instance.Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Let me start this off by saying that I love Basecamp and use it everyday...but I am very intrigued by Duet. The app looks really great and I am a fan of the way the UI and navigation are set up.

What I think you are missing however are Discussions. I find discussions to be the single most valuable feature that Basecamp has to offer. I also love that for any todo or file, project members have the ability to comment on that item, which is essentially a discussion in itself.

The ability to keep all of the conversations that are taking place with various members of both my internal and external teams in one place is incredibly helpful. It eliminates the need to track disperate conversations across gchat, gmail, skype etc, and gives all team members transparency into the various facets of the project.

I think adding these features would make your app much more robust and compelling.
