Range - Build successful teams with Range.

dan and braden are two of the most thoughtful folks in the game tackling an important problem at the right time, and very keen to see where this goes!

So excited to see this team -- some of the most empathetic, smart, thoughtful, and get-things-done people I know -- take on this important and impactful space!

I have not used this product personally (yet). But, having said that... I do love what this product is aiming to do. I believe communication can solve all known problems. And to that end, fostering a culture of "getting in sync" early-and-often with your coworkers is an antidote to wasted energy, lost time, and negative workplace dynamics and can drastically improve your team's efficiency, predictability, and level of happiness. Having the right tools to help facilitate communication, especially in a distributed environment, is critical for a team's success and there's plenty of room in this space for better tools. Also, (disclaimer), I've worked with Dan for many years and can say that he's a very thoughtful and empathetic leader. He's an extremely talented engineer and has rich background working with many teams, which makes him uniquely qualified to design and build a platform that solving this class of problems.

We have been using Range for a while now. It's great.

Pros:

an async standup app that actually works. Great also with handling structure and notes for reoccurring meetings. I love the fun questions.

Cons:

Nothing of note!

We've been using it on a fully remote team at SeatGeek for 6+ months and are big fans!

Pros:

Get to know teammates better, work transparency, fun questions, slack integration

Cons:

Nothing I can think of. We're big fans!

keeps our team motivated

Pros:

best productivity tool. Team is fantastic and cares about user feedback

Cons:

can't think of much yet.

Big fan. People have been working in this problem space for awhile, but this is finally done right. Cal integration, asana, files, etc.

Pros:

Exactly what I need from my team and what I want to communicate to them Nice how calendar is input right beneath standup notes

Cons:

Can't quite set who sees what (maybe you can do this by creating different teams?)

This is a smart, thoughtful team tackling one of the harder (and often unspoken things) in the workplace: Just how do you help teams move faster and stay close while doing so? The sheer love and care with which they engage with these issues (have a look at their blog for _actual_ interesting writing on the subject) and then the product itself speak to their very real wish to make things better for you and your team.

Looks sweet! Can't wait to give it a go.

This is amazing; especially for distributed teams. Love the "How we're feeling" feature.
