Question
How has your remote work changed over the past year?
Whether you already were working remotely before 2020, or switched remote during lockdowns, how has your remote work changed over the past year? Any new apps or habits you've found that make remote work better?

We use Slack in place of casual discussions and Zoom for planned meetings. We've actually reduced the number of meetings we have as people focus more on getting things done and updating project/task management tools better. We've found that most meetings were simply updates of what's going on, what issues we have, and status check-ins. Now when we meet it's usually for brainstorming or addressing BIG issues.
We didn't have any concerns with remote working in the pandemic because our official work chat app is Troop Messenger, and we didn't have to explore alternatives according to requirements because of its variety of features. Troop Messenger, for example, includes a screen sharing and remote access functionality, so if you're looking for a Teamviewer alternative, this one-stop solution could be the best option for you.
Possibly; our team is fully remote but also not fully async, as we rely on Zoom meetings and such to plan and keep work moving (as have all other remote teams I've worked on). I'd recently read about how the Gumroad team works fully asynchronously, though, and was curious if other teams have found ways to do so, and how.
Looking for a better way to plan remote meetings across time zones, and keep up with events. What software is doing that best today?
Nice, sounds similar to our team. Curious, how many meetings per week do you have nowadays on average versus previously?
