I've been looking at project management tools for work. I asked on FB what people were using and received multiple recommendations for Trello, a few for Asana and none for Basecamp (which is the one I know best).

I played around with Trello and it's all about cards. My problem is that I want lists, not cards. Haven't used Asana yet. Basecamp seems to be the best fit for my needs (I want to see what has been checked off and create repeatitive processes).

I was introduced to HansoftX on an open source project I was contributing to and 10/10 would use it again.

It was deceptively simple to get started but really powerful once I was able to dig in a bit more. Super responsive drag-drop UI and apparently it uses Meteor as the back-end so change updates are instantaneous.

It uses both lists (that can be nested multiple layers deep) and cards. You can drag tasks from lists to cards, or from cards to lists with links between the two being maintained. We were using the cards to track ToDo/Working/Done and lists to plan releases and track suggestions.

The project seems really young but they're doing all the 'right things'. One of the project contributors set it up to trigger notification updates in Slack when the boards changed and apparently it even has GitHub integration now.

I'm in no way affiliated with HansoftX. I just think it's a pretty amazing tool.

I'm a Basecamp 2 user but have started to migrate over to http://getflow.com which has a nice combination of ordinary lists and cards which you might I want for some specific projects.

You're the minority.

also 37 which is youth-speak for "old", their opinion doesn't matter anymore :-(

Why is every person focused on a guy in the pics? There's one woman in a pic with 4 guys and she's looking down working. A guy is in front smiling.

Do women not work in tech in Europe?

When the rowing team at Oxford does this they post the pictures on the website.

Let's admit it, we just want to see the pictures and compare them to ourselves.

There's a new post up today on Reducing Your Method Count

Hi Martin,

I know the guys doing Brandme. You can see my profile here: https://brandme.io/shira-abel

You're looking the wrong way. It's not about you.

While thats correct, if I have a problem which needs solving it should be a lot easier to define the product, isn't that generally good advice.

Do you have any examples / tips on how to see problems in a world where you don't see many?

Problem - the school systems are funded by property taxes. Live in a low rent area, your kids will be at a crappy school. It's why a family needs to be earning at least 200k, preferably 300k. Rent for a family of 4 is at a minimum of 5k - 6k. The alternative is to live in the midwest, with snow. And a lot of people who don't understand working in tech. And less opportunities.

I deal with snow, yes. Though it's not THAT bad.

>And a lot of people who don't understand working in tech

Boulder, CO, has the highest density of people working in tech in the country. You were saying?

Its sad. But the solution seems to not marry at all.

How about private schools?

Excuse my complete ignorance on this - but have you or Mark written about it? (And yes I did google it and came up with a bunch of articles about founders and vesting, however nothing popped out about restarting founder vesting when raising a new funding round.)

I looked for something that felt right for the brand. For my agency I wanted something masculine (we were all women), waspy (we were all Jewish), and sounded 100 years old (it's brand new). I told my friend who does naming that it should sound like 100 year old scotch. She came up with Hunter & Bard (hunting for leads sales & market, bard is the story teller which is how we do it). I was happy. My exact quote was, "I feel Blackwatch plaid all over"
