We use channels just the same way we use them at work. “fixahuset” is a channel for stuff that needs to be fixed around the house, “general” is important stuff, “handla” is for picking up milk on the way home, “mathem” is an integration i’ll get to in a bit, and “random” is the usual cat gif mayhem we’ve all learned to love/hate. “pedertest” is where i test new integrations.
Jac and I tried Slack as a couple for a week or two. It didn’t stick. If we had kids, I could see it sticking like glue.
I know another couple that use Basecamp for the same purposes. They swear by it.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of testing out six different iPhone docks. I tested the Henge Docks Gravitas, the Apple iPhone 6s Dock, the Twelve South HiRise Dock for iPhone and iPad Mini, the Elago M2 Stand, the Belkin ChargeSync Express Dock, and the ElevationDock 3.
The best of all these was the ElevationDock 3 from Elevation Lab. It checked off a bunch of my exhaustive requirements, and it’s the dock I’d recommend for most people.
I’m still not sure which I’d rather keep myself between the ElevationDock 3 and the Henge Docks Gravitas. The Gravitas is a fine competitor and loses by the hair on its chin. You really can’t go wrong between these two.
