Good summary of tools, but would love to hear more about the process challenges. Tools are obviously just a small part of the challenge.

Good idea - I'll try to blog about that soon.

  Cool, thanks Ryan. I currently work remotely for a small company and lead a 4-person team. We use some of the tools that you mention and a handful of others to accomplish essentially the same thing. I think figuring out the tools is a big deal for a lot of companies going fully or partially remote, but after those are figured out, there still seems to be a very different management/process angle that I haven't seen addressed much. Definitely enjoyed reading about the tools, as well, though.

I wonder how much interest there is in a "usesthis" series for SW tools + processes companies & individuals use rather than just the more hardware-centric stuff on http://usesthis.com/ http://usesthis.com/.

      There is a site out there that does this but I will be damned it I can remember the name of it. They interview companies like github etc and talk about the technology stacks and how they do things at the companies etc. As well as the video interview there is a summary of the points listed for easy reading / linking. The site is on a .tv domain and I am pretty sure it began with an m. When / if I find it i will edit / reply to this comment. In the meantime if anyone can remind me what the name is... EDIT: Found it, http://webpulp.tv/ http://webpulp.tv/
