Communication platform for async remote teams

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

Communication platform for async remote teams launched on May 10, 2022 with 13 votes, #912 of 2,942 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

Twist is a communication platform designed for asynchronous remote teams, built by the makers of Todoist. The tool prioritizes UX decisions tailored to async workflows, allowing team members to communicate and collaborate without requiring real-time synchronization. The platform is accompanied by detailed resources exploring asynchronous work practices and interface design considerations for distributed teams.
