I'd love to talk to some people that are using or in the proces of moving to Europe-based infrastructure providers, like Scaleway, OVHcloud, Exoscale, etc.
I'm doing a bit of research around the different platforms out there, to figure out what's missing.
After more than four years of working on Rise, weโve made the difficult decision to shut down the company and product.

Daily standups: the productivity killer no one talks about.
Standups are a really effective way to waste everyones mornings and a great tool to make sure no real work gets done until after lunch. I used to love them (and most managers do, too).
Replace standups by a super simple daily note that everyone drops into a shared chat, like Slack. You'll have all the relevant info in one place, and it's a great way to ask follow up questions and celebrate progress.
And as an aside: in some specific cases and specifically challenging projects, we actually set up a recurring check in meeting. But those are short term, only with the people working on the project and we schedule them mostly right before or right after lunch to keep those long stretches of time available to the team.
What's your excuse to keep doing those daily meetings?
Your schedule is finite, which is what makes calendar blocking--dropping tasks into your schedule--so effective.
Here's a few of our favorite tricks to make the most out of Rise when designing your perfect week.
Announcing a powerful new feature in Rise! The slash command. Now, in any task input you see, you're able to adjust tasks without lifting your hands from the keyboard. Amazing work by @dcasn, as per usual.
Having all your tasks in one place is key to stay on top of things. Today, we're releasing our brand new Slack integration. This makes it dead simple to turn any message into a task you can track, plan and complete in Rise.

๐ Custom fields are here!
Our most powerful addition to projects to date is now live: custom fields. You can now define a set of fields for a project to help you structure and organize projects and tasks in any way you want.
Use fields to store text, numbers, dates and links, and you're also able to group by custom fields to build the view that fits your needs.
Every project has different requirements and with this we unlock the exact fields that help stay organized!
Tasks and projects in Rise are growing rapidly and our new API allows for integration with third party apps ๐ฆพ
At the same time weโre working on one-way imports directly into Rise, starting with @asana and @trello ๐ค

What's on the calendar gets done.
If we want to start making better choices about how we spend our valuable and finite time, we need tools that represent that. There is no better way than the calendar, and with our stream of upgrades over the last months we're working towards realizing our vision of calendar-first project management.
Rise links time to tasks, tasks to projects and projects to priorities. It takes away the guesswork about what is important and how your work fits into the bigger picture. It's the simplicity of a board with cards, combined with the structure of a serious project manager so you're not reinventing the wheel and designing a tool in a tool.
If you're a fan of GRIP, you'll love Rise.
Launching something new! In FocusTime we're interviewing people to highlight actionable and smart ideas about how to organize time.
This week: @SamuelBeek from @veedstudio shares how he's using color coding and time blocking to stay on top of things.
