Milanote is a virtual pinboard for your ideas. Use it to organise your ideas and projects into visual boards, collect everything – text, images, PDFs, links and more – in one place, then share it with your team.

Not one for the privacy-concerned: “Once a day, when you open a new [Chrome] tab, Glance Back will unexpectedly take your photo, ask you what you’re thinking about, and save both the photo and written thought to its locally stored archive.”

An app to get everyone in a team on the same page: “Scrumie gives you a simple overview of the work done in your team.”

My friends at ticketing app Tito, who face a particularly uncertain future as a business, have quickly responded to the current situation by developing a new online events platform called Vito. “Vito will be a place to share live-streams and agendas. You will be able to provide a safe, secure community for your participants (we’re calling this contextual networking).” ‘Invite only’ so far.

The Squiggly Career →

A new way to look at career paths

Today, we're living in a world of squiggly careers, where moving frequently and fluidly between roles, industries, locations, and even careers, is becoming the new normal. Squiggly careers can feel stressful and overwhelming, but if you know how to make the most of them, they can be full of opportunity, freedom and purpose. And to make the most of our increasingly squiggly careers we need to answer some important questions: What am I good at? What do I stand for? What motivates and drives me? Where do I want to go in the future?

Cubbit →

Peer-to-peer cloud storage

Removing monthly subscription fees and dependency on Big Tech (though requiring a substantial initial investment), Cubbit is a compact personal storage device that connects directly with your router. Under the hood, it runs an encrypted peer-to-peer network that makes your files accessible from anywhere, even if your own Cubbit is offline.

So much to quote from this excellent, quite confronting piece by ethicist Cennydd Bowles. “Change happens where power meets appetite, but dread stems from a lack of agency: the future is only something to fear if we can’t influence it. And lack of agency is surely a hallmark of recent years.”

A touching essay written by a NYC restaurant owner, and a great follow-up to last week’s piece about which entrepreneurs matter. “I, like hundreds of other chefs across the city and thousands around the country, are now staring down the question of what our restaurants, our careers, our lives, might look like if we can even get them back.”

David Cain on keeping a healthy perspective on the different challenges life provides: “All problems exist within a context that dwarfs them, but often we’re too close to see it. You may have once been so stressed about a high school exam that your future seemed to hinge on its outcome. Looking back on your whole life, however, it will barely register as an important event.”
