Because there was a recent post about sync and async in remote work, I decided to show this tool. Its UX decisions are tailored to async workflows, and they have really cool blogposts about async remote and UX details. It’s from the same compony as TODOIST

Hi HN! I'm Kam, the founder and one of the authors of Linen. Today, we are launching Linen.team (https://linen.team/), a lightweight threaded messaging app for your team.

Glue▲291Glue is team chat optimized for AI. Today we're releasing support for MCP tools right in your Glue team conversations. Just like MCP in Cursor or Windsurf, you can now use any tool in a private AI chat or any Glue team thread while pulling in its full context to help. Using team chat context for MCP is kind of game-changing, letting you do anything from creating a calendar event or Linear issue to looking up data from an internal system.
