• Looking for Facebook/Nextdoor alternative for Civic League

  The final thought that comes to mind is BuddyPress, a plugin for WordPress sites. A pretty decent option if you already have a WordPress site setup. Source: over 1 year ago

• Child care - matching parents with foster parents

  As you're building a community site to allow parents and foster parents to create their own user profiles and potentially interact with each other, buddypress can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best way to create a community website

  I'd probably be remiss if I didn't also mention buddypress, which some like for creating a social/community space based on WordPress. I much prefer a forum, but you should at least look into buddypress a little. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can Wordpress help me make a blog (image below explains) where users can select topics they’re interested in, add these topics to their profiles, have a calendar with important dates, author profiles and more. The image will explain more

  We run standups every day, however only 2x of them are a Teams call. The other 3 are run using a tool called Geekbot (Yes scrum masters do hate this) which is basically just a chatbot that sends you the standard standup questions and you can answer whenever you feel like it.

  My new job recently pulled in https://geekbot.com/ to handle stand ups. Answer a couple basic questions when you login, and they’re all sent to a central channel. I’m not big on that type of communication in general, but it takes maybe 30 seconds each morning. Source: about 1 year ago

• As an IC, is there anything I can do about super cheerful team members using up meetings time?

• Scrum Has Failed the Developers

  Back in 2005, I remember working on startups running on Scrum principles. It worked well at the time, we where able to ship, grow the team, and move forward with a nice few-features-per-week cadence, working remotely, on a small team; less than 10. Tt always worked fine, but very slow, as all-dev-things were at the time.
