I strongly recommend GoodNotes for this use case. They do a better job than paper at all the "think" tasks like lassoing objects, handwriting in a zoom window, highlighting, etc. http://www.goodnotesapp.com (I'm n

To be clear, nobody tracks time, even for projects that are managed. The coordination I mentioned is about ensuring the right people are available to work together on the right things at the scale of days and weeks, not individual hours. Mo

The app is the best experience. If you don't have the app or it's not supported on your platform, then you have the regular mobile web views to fall back on.

People in the tech world easily assume that upgrade = better. But that is only true if you feel underserved by the existing software you are running. Many customers out there in other fields don't have that feeling of being perpetually unde

Native views and web views are good at different things. Native is good for high fidelity interaction, animations, responding to gestures. However the native APIs are bad for designing "documents" -- that is, layouts where elements flow wit

I don't claim that addressing anxiety is the only reason to say "Signup in 30 seconds." However, data about what converts better isn't a reason. Conversion data gives you correlations, not reasons for the correlations. I prefer to work from

How do you responsibly participate in a democracy when you ignore world news? For example, how can you judge two presidential candidates' positions on foreign policy when you don't know what other nations have been up to? The OP doesn't dis

You scale it by identifying which scopes of work are dependent on others and which scopes are independent. Any independent scopes can be designed, developed, and reviewed by small teams working at pace together, parallel to other teams. The

IMO that presents an opportunity: If 1:1 throughput isn't possible given the platform, what are the different ways we could approximate it? If we have to do design in advance, how much should we do, and which parts? All of these become usef

A product manager who doesn't understand implementations will not be able to negotiate when an implementation bears on interface design or scheduling decisions. Conflicts arise all the time between implementation, interface and schedule. To

My cocktail title at 37signals is "Product Manager," so whatever experiments are going on with management aren't completely past tense. I do UI design, work with the programmers, help design and dev work together and contribute strategy id

I recommend going to a group to learn in person. It's easier to decide if you feel at home with a certain group of people than to judge books and theories about meditation when you don't have personal experience. If you look for Buddhist gr

Some people have the notion that when you have a good idea, all you need is some money and time in order to be successful. It's not like that. You can have all the money in the world (look at big corps like Microsoft), and you can have grea
