Re:Ask HN: What is your side project for 2017? on Monday January 02, 2017 @07:47AM (#13300846)
I'm working on one of those standup bots that would then use the data to automatically update PM services like Trello.

This reminds me of the virtual subway store that TESCO implemented in South Korea - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/mobile-phones/8601147/...

There's proto.io that does both well (and it has timeline animation which is great).

Re:Ask HN: How do you organise/integrate all the information in your l... on Wednesday October 26, 2016 @04:54AM (#12794930)
I've a Trello personal board with To-do, Doing, Done lists along with a 'To read/watch/listen'. I send everything interesting that I see to the To Read list and once I finish going through an item, if it's interesting enough to be saved for later, I send them to Pocket and tag it appropriately. I've a special tag called 'Toolkit' to save frameworks and other techniques that I cross-tag with other generic tags. I also add notes for videos, podcasts etc as comments.

Right now my Trello board is organised based on the work I need to do for a week. I haven't really experimented with changing this frequency though as it pretty much works for me now. And a lot of times, I need to sub divide my weekly tasks and for that I use checklists. When needed, I create separate reminders for these sub tasks using the Reminders app(primarily because it is super fast and syncs well across my devices).

When I need to look for something, I first use Spotlight to search for it as it can search across all of these apps. Works most of time, but I have to search individual apps for better results at times.

Ask HN: How do you run meetings at your startup?

from the ask-hn dept.

More specifically, how do you apply various efficiency strategies like maker vs manager schedule[1] for example to different types of meetings such as daily standup, one on one's etc.[1] http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html

Ask HN: How do you take positive and negative feedback neutrally?

Posted by nithinr6 on Friday August 14, 2015 @07:44AM
from the ask-hn dept.

It is something that you hear often - don't get too comfy with positive feedback and don't get too dejected with negative feedback and just use them to improve your product/startup. But how do you do that? Is there a special process that you follow in order to achieve it? Or is it something that you master over time and practice - kind of like meditation?

I just checked. Now there is an option to delete your account in the settings.
