I don't understand how this article is sitting in the top 5 of HN right now, especially given no comments. This is a marginally useful roundup of a bunch of tools, some of which are only remotely connected to remote working.
I guess looking at the submission history of the author ( https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=nm12112 https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=nm12112 ) it makes a bit of sense, but perhaps there is a voting ring to get this story so high?
- knodi123 10y agoThis was so obviously "quick, think of 15 remote working apps", not "round up all the best remote working apps, and if necessary trim the results to a round number." Two separate chat utilities? And hyping one of them because "you can order taco bell within the app"? c'mon.

- nitrogen 10y agoIIRC HN starts new articles that reach a certain threshold somewhere higher on the front page to give them a chance in case they're good.
