Ever struggle to find a good time to call a coworker in a different timezone?
Now that everyone I work with works remotely, I find myself counting on my fingers to figure out someone else's local time about 3-5 times a day. It's annoying and jolts me out of my flow state.

Party Jenga
As a freelance developer I've been able to avoid React projects for quite some time... but now that I am searching for new clients I realized it's just not going away.

Cheers!

I'm building Tweet Sweeper — a dead simple web app that automatically deletes old tweets — and am trying to figure out the best way to position and, ultimately, market the app.
One idea I've been toying with is the idea of being "on" or "off" the record when communicating over twitter.
I've bee...
It feels like a tough needle to thread.
I've made mistakes both launching too early with something that makes people go "eh, cool I guess", and building feature after feature and never pushing it out the door.
Curious to see how you all think through this and what your collective experiences ha...

Hello, my name is Pete Marcano
What are you working on these days?
I do freelance Rails development for a handful of recurring clients. I've built enough apps for others so recently began hacking some of the ideas stuck in my head.
What can the WIP community help you with right now?
I've struggled with the ...
