1-on-1, the most powerful thing we can recommend to any managers in the world - To Sit down and talk to their folks on weekly basis regularly like clockwork because just chatting with your folks periodically is not a way to get to know them - It doesn’t work. And the single most important thing you can do to improve your relationship, and therefore your results with your team is to get to know the strengths and weaknesses of everybody who works for you as individuals rather than as a group.

We use our own tool (https://peoplebox.ai) and many of these questions are embedded in it but you can use these questions with any tool you like or currently using.

These are for managers but can be flipped to find agenda/ questions for direct reports.

For project management we've been using Trello and it is so far so good. I think I'll give Clubhouse a spin.

Culturegrade is building a next-generation employee satisfaction platform. We help companies build great culture. Our founding team has YC Alum (me), IIT-Delhi, ex-Yahoo, Zynga, Hackerrank and Practo. This is the second startup for both the founders.

We are funded by one of the top US VCs and we are looking for smart engineers and leaders to join the founding team. Our customers include the top consumer-tech companies in India and several top SaaS companies in the US.

To apply, please send an email to alagu@culturegrade.com and mention HN.

YC has been doing this for a while (Essays, Startup School), which also serves as a lead for applicants.

I wish they opened up all the videos as well.

He mentioned not to opensource anything that represents core business value. A Text Editor is best set to grow when available free. Examples - VIM, Emacs, LightTable.

That said, there have been hints that it might be paid ("Atom is free till beta") and Github might try to make money through it like Sublime or Textmate.

Though I wouldn't worry much about Opensourcing, I might think twice to pay for a Text Editor - considering that there are really good free alternatives.

Since this is being hosted on appspot and you'd be proxying significant traffic - I think you would cross your limits soon.

That would be a killer.

I think dcurtis should be already pissed off that I ripped his design. So not sure about doing it again :)

I'm sorry about it. I assume the word is also used in a sense of being calm and out of clutter.

Is't my dumb solution better than yours, for me atleast ?

If your solution works for you, it is definitely better. If you think others also would subscribe to your solution, do post it.

WTF is so zen about full-screen ?

IMHO, Zen is not just about fullscreen. It is about how much minimalistic and uncluttered your experience is.

Why aren't you solving real problems for bloggers, getting heard in a sea of me-too's, separating propaganda from truth.

I didn't start this project to solve problems for bloggers, there are plenty of them solving it really well. It is a niche problem that I had.

I haven't tested with plugins. But I doubt if it would work. It works great for Vanilla Jekyll with Markdown.

Does it output a static website?

This is independent of your jekyll site generator. What it does is, gives you an editor for your files inside _posts. It understands yaml matter and saves in Jekyll format.

Is it possible to write the posts using mark down instead of the web editor?

The web editor isn't rich text. You edit in Markdown in the web editor. It is an easier way of creating new posts.

Not so much a question but a suggestion, you should have a version of this hosted on AWS/Heroku so people can see it live.

Totally agree. I had thoughts on hosting a demo site. I'll do it.
