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

We are a remote company. Everything is going well. No plans to be in person, but I’d say we can do a better job at communicating. Any tips or articles to read?

Use Roam(https://ro.am/)

It's like being in a office while being remote and really helps with that zoom fatigue and actually let's you have a HQ and drop into colleagues offices.

I really, really love Roam for the synchronous work, but it is reeeally not helpful for asynchronous, which IMO is absolutely critical as soon as you’re working on something of moderate complexity spread across 2+ timezones.

We ended up switching to Campsite (campsite.com) which is brilliant except for the synchronous stuff (calling). Calling exists, it’s good, their recording feature is great, but the general “smoothness” of hopping in and out of calls on Roam is absolutely unrivaled.
