Super interesting. A few takeaways/reflections:. Two things make people feel better about their job across ALL metrics:.1) being at a smaller company.2) having a great manager. Related to #1—there is truly something special about small companies. I think there’s generally:.- more.

5) Due dates or not?.Some teams and projects really need due dates (e.g. marketing teams). For others, they aren’t relevant at all (e.g. product teams working in cycles/sprints). Our goal was that due dates would feel like first-class citizens for the people who need them and.

4) Handling different years.What if you pick a date that is in a different year? How can we make it clear that it’s not May 29 (next week) but May 29, 2026 (one year away)? What we chose to do here is display month + year and drop the day. So, if you set a due date for May 29,.

A fun thing we do at @whimsical is we have each new person create a board about themselves. They can put whatever they want in it but typically it includes things like: photos of their loved ones (including furry friends), hobbies, work history, places lived, favorite

Here’s an inside look at how we use @whimsical Projects to build Whimsical—tasks, posts, tech trees, documentation… it’s all there. Most companies use isolated tools that scatter their information and make it harder to understand what’s happening: tasks in Jira, product spec in
