Hi makers , As some of you already know, I'm currently working on a service (2aud.io) that'll allow you to convert web links, files and plain texts to audio. I would really appreciate if you can answer the following questions: - Do you prefer reading or listening? - In which context would you prefer one instead of the other? - Why?

Working remote is great, but it creates some distance between you and your team members. With working in different time zones everyone is in a different mind set: starting the day, ending the day, working on some bugs, in the flow (you name it). Being in the same office you can get a sense of the energy of your colleagues, remote this is a challenge. In our team we started to let each other know how we are feeling during the day. First we build a simple prototype in airtable, but now we developed simple product. Everyone shares if they are productive, stressed, zen (etc.) With the result that we started to talk more about why we were e.g stressed, or productive . Talking about how you feel is super important for your own happiness, and that of your team. Do you ever talk about how you feel with your team members while working remote?

I mean, I see when one starts brainstorming, tons of ideas start popping into their minds. So, wondering how do you guys convince yourselves that "this idea" will work out and start working on that?
