Love Ruby but meh Daily Stand-ups (DSU)? You might like my gem:)

I love ruby and rails, but agile Daily-Stand-ups (DSU) are a pain in the butt. I have a hard time remembering what to share; what I did yesterday, one-offs I did the day before because I completely forgot. Anyhow, I created this really lovely little, but powerful ruby gem, called dsu. Currently, we're a small, but dedicated band of users who love the tool. You may love it also. If anyone wants to give it a try. Enjoy: Visit the dsu ruby gem wiki: https://github.com/gangelo/dsu/wiki Straight to rubygems.org: https://rubygems.org/gems/dsu

In plain words

DSU is a Ruby gem that helps developers track and remember their daily work for stand-up meetings. It addresses the common problem of forgetting what was accomplished, what tasks are ongoing, and miscellaneous work completed. Built for Ruby and Rails developers who participate in agile daily stand-ups, the gem provides a simple tool to log activities and prepare meeting notes. It is available on rubygems.org.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
