1. I think he meant https://tower.im https://tower.im. There's also https://www.teambition.com/ https://www.teambition.com/ for project management. They're respectively clones of Trello and Basecamp (haven't used either of them).
2. Honestly, rather than looking for alternatives, I'd invest in a good VPN. We've tried a lot of different setups and services (individual VPN, smart routing in and out of our office...), but Astrill (https://www.astrill.com/ https://www.astrill.com/) has been consistently good (save for a couple times when the internet was simply slow in all of China regardless). We pay for individual "VIP" accounts for our employees and use everything we need (Gmail, Google Docs, Twitter, ...).
3. We are however considering running an npm proxy at the office to speed things up a little.
- obicho 11y agoYou brought up a good point about VPN. We considered in the beginning but at the end we decided not to. We feel since our market and our customers are mainly in China, it will be best to use what's available within China. From a technical infrastructure stand point, that'd be better also since we won't have to deal with so many potential point-of-failures. We did sign up for a few VPN accounts so we can reference things from time to time.
