Hi HN!

I am Deyan, the developer behind Textstandup.com. I released its first public version few weeks ago and some external feedback will be very useful to me. I have written more about the motivation behind the project here https://medium.com/@ddobrinov/text-based-stand-ups-de741fa6c....

Thanks a lot! Deyan

Well, I don't think it is the best answer to your 'challenges'. I mean stand-ups should eliminate the requirement for other meetings as those disturb the focus a developer requires to work, but eliminating that tiny bit of mandatory human interaction seems weird to me (and probably hurts the team spirit in the long run).

I don't mean to be negative, just honest feedback.

No, I completely agree. Having no meetings at all could hurt the team spirit. At the same time I doubt that you have only one meeting per day. This could be the case for small remote companies. I am personally using it and it works well. I have written more about the motivation behind the project here - https://medium.com/@ddobrinov/text-based-stand-ups-de741fa6c....

Thanks for the feedback!
