Hello HN! RemoteHabits is a small site I launched here on HN a few months ago to figure out the best ways to work remotely.
I noticed when I started remote work, I struggled with a lot of basic things like habits, disciplines, routines, finding community, etc...
I wanted to learn from other people that had already done it, without prescriptive advice like "the 10 things you MUST do with remote work"—so landed on remote interviews.
We aim to release a new interview every Monday, and are always looking for interesting remote workers to interview. If you're interested head over to https://remotehabits.com/interview-me/
With RemoteHabits I'm aiming to build a resource for people to learn how to work remotely. I've struggled with this a bit as I went from full-time -> consulting -> my own projects.
Please let me know if you have any feedback or anything that can be improved!
The idea is to capture notes/thoughts/todos quickly and send them to any service (Trello/Basecamp/Asana/etc...). For people doing deep work (programmers, designers, writers) you want to stay in flow but also be able to capture any random thought that pops in your head.
This project is a bit harder than ones I've done in the past because I'm trying to take it cross-platform (macOS first) and keep it native UI everywhere.
For the past few years I've been storing almost everything in Markdown and organizing files into yearly folders—I call it my "memex".
It ends up being pretty simple, but I end up missing some information that gets silo'd off in services like Trello.
