SavvyCal looks interesting, but for a "lean operation" can you really justify paying $12 per month per user for a service to schedule meetings? All of GSuite starts at $6/mo, and already does this.
SaaS I happily pay for: - CloudFlare - Roam - Slack - Linear - Geekbot SaaS I’m okay with paying for: - Figma - Gsuite - Gusto - Stripe - Netlify SaaS I’d rather not pay for, but have no choice: - AWS (SaaS in a sense I suppose - I actually don’t “pay” yet, working my way through credits) - Heroku (terribly expensive and does not provide startup credits that they say they do) - Wistia (the platform is clunky, but the…
While I think it's great you're thinking of tools to optimize your time BUT a team of 3 at early stage project/startup level should be a bit more frugal and look for clever ways to save the ~$200/month you're spending right now! I understand you have your own SAAS and want to justify subscription and this is a good promo method. I've written on HN before that I'm TIRED of subscription apps, specially per user subs, f…
That's not the whole list. We spend around $500/month if we include everything. We used to host our own stuff to spend less, like having our own Mailtrain instance instead of paying for an email marketing solution. But if you do too much of that, you'll find yourself spending a lot of your time doing sys admin stuff, instead of working on your product. This can kill you, especially at an early stage. As we scale our[…

Linear looks fascinating. We’re using Zenhub now and it’s slow and misused in our org (one giant project board instead of separate boards per repo / project). Curious if anyone here is / has used linear and could compare their experience with it to Monday, Asana or Zenhub?
It’s also just incredibly simple to start using. They have a free version, so I’d say it’s worth checking out. It has integration with GitHub and Slack, which is about all I need as far as integrating goes.
I’ve used both Monday and Asana. I’ve not used Zenhub. Comparing linear to Monday and Asana, I’d say linear is much faster. It’s a native Mac app. It’s also nicer looking than both imo, which is a big deal for me.

Didn’t know about Geekbot, worth trying?
It’s also a great way to eliminate daily standups. I despise pointless meetings, so anything we can do over async text the better.
