Ask HN: How do you communicate in a remote startup?

1. gather.town 2. Zulip (nuances of design much better than other chat systems for remote work specifically) 3. the 'latent energy' is going to be lower when people aren't eating lunch together and rubbing shoulders. you have to bring the energy to an empty room all the time when working remote. this also has to be exemplified by founders. doesn't mean loudness but instilling a sense of urgency etc.

+1 for Zulip.

Still some warts, truthfully, but the core of it is just better for finding information and structuring things.

Integrations are also easier.

Definitely one of my more controversial additions to my company, but the pure volume and quality of conversations would he impossible otherwise. You would be required to wade through a lot of irrelevant dialogues otherwise.

We have been using Zulip as well now for a few years. Especially enforcing topics is a big win.
