I guess Slack completely abolish all internal emails and it quickly became our company\u2019s home and place to be. It\u2019s always on and it\u2019s the place where we hang out together all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It works perfect for distributed web development teams since it allows us to chat asynchronous as well as synchronous. No information is lost and with it\u2019s various channels, projects can be discussed with everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/slack-for-remote-web-development-teams.png\" alt=\"slack for remote web development \" class=\"wp-image-3133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/slack-for-remote-web-development-teams.png 700w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/slack-for-remote-web-development-teams-292x300.png 292w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/slack-for-remote-web-development-teams-136x140.png 136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, make sure to check out these awesome Slack integrations for developers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GitHub &#8211; your code collaboration platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GitHub doesn\u2019t need any further explanation. It\u2019s the software that helps developers build great software. Besides publically shared projects, GitHub enables you to set up private projects, only shared with your developers in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use GitHub for some side projects &#8211; such as bugtrackers.io or checktag.io and it helps us to keep our development cycles as lean as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We basically use GitHub for version control and as our primary git repository. By integrating it with Codeship and divshot, we try to ship high quality code at the fastest pace possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dev-proces-bugtrackers-2.png\" alt=\"development process for bugtrackers\" class=\"wp-image-2862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dev-proces-bugtrackers-2.png 650w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dev-proces-bugtrackers-2-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/dev-proces-bugtrackers-2-140x101.png 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"acf-cta\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Group-1000004194.svg); width: 100%;\"><h2>Try Usersnap for Product Development<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/signup\" class=\"cta-button\">Try Usersnap Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many more great things you can do with GitHub for your remote web development teams. <a href=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/github-hacks-productivity\/\">Check them out here.<\/a>&nbsp;If you want to know in detail, how we use GitHub, make sure to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/launching-bugtrackers-lessons-learned\/\">learnings on launching bugtrackers.io.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All files in one place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, Google Drive is really a no-brainer. It\u2019s basically a must-have when working remotely. I guess Dropbox or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudwards.net\/best-cloud-storage\/\">any other cloud storage service<\/a> works great too. In our case, it\u2019s Google Drive, which lets us collaborate on any file. Not to mention that you can also use the tool as a means of storage and worry less about needing to free up drive space on the computer by <a href=\"https:\/\/macpaw.com\/how-to\/uninstall-apps-on-mac-os-x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uninstalling apps on macOS<\/a> or a different operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay up-to-date on your team\u2019s to dos with iDoneThis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you and your co-workers aren\u2019t in the same location, a daily or weekly standup isn\u2019t that easy to handle (think about time zones arrrggg!!).&nbsp;We recently switched to iDoneThis for keeping everybody synced and documenting our achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/idonethis-for-remote-web-dev-teams.png\" alt=\"idonethis for remote web development teams\" class=\"wp-image-3134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/idonethis-for-remote-web-dev-teams.png 700w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/idonethis-for-remote-web-dev-teams-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/idonethis-for-remote-web-dev-teams-140x76.png 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS: iDoneThis integrates well with Slack and your task is just a \/done away \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/idonethis.com\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faster design feedback with InVision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing mockups, design drafts or website prototypes can be easy if everyone is in the same place. Working in different time zones can slow down feedback cycles when not having a clear process and setup for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With InVision &amp; Usersnap we have installed a pretty efficient workflow for that. New design drafts are stored and discussed inside InVision. InVision is a great place for designers, as well as developers and project managers, since it enables us to keep track of design drafts and ensures that nothing gets lost.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/invisionapp-remote-web-development-teams.png\" alt=\"invision for remote web development teams\" class=\"wp-image-3136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/invisionapp-remote-web-development-teams.png 700w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/invisionapp-remote-web-development-teams-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/invisionapp-remote-web-development-teams-140x76.png 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/invisionapp.com\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Web development in the cloud with Cloud9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud9 does an amazing job. Basically, it\u2019s your development environment in the cloud. It allows you and your developers, to code, share and collaborate on the same project.&nbsp;And it even offers you a full Ubuntu development environment with no need for a physical workstation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/c9io-remote-web-development-teams.png\" alt=\"c9 for remote web development teams\" class=\"wp-image-3137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/c9io-remote-web-development-teams.png 700w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/c9io-remote-web-development-teams-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/c9io-remote-web-development-teams-140x109.png 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a coding buddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone working in remote web development teams, you might experience only little face-to-face interaction with other co-working developers. Especially if you and your team are spread all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why I not only recommend joining local meetups but also get a coding buddy yourself. &nbsp;The principle of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pair_programming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pair programming <\/a>is basically an agile software development technique where two developers work on the same workstation (= code) at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s one so-called drive, who writes the code, whereas the other one is the observer, who reviews the code. There are great services out there, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pairprogramwith.me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pairprogramwith.me<\/a>, which lets you find a coding buddy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coding-buddy-remote-web-development-teams.jpg\" alt=\"remote web development teams\" class=\"wp-image-3138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coding-buddy-remote-web-development-teams.jpg 700w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coding-buddy-remote-web-development-teams-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coding-buddy-remote-web-development-teams-140x105.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"acf-cta\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/usersnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Group-1000004194.svg); width: 100%;\"><h2>Try Usersnap for Product Development<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/usersnap.com\/signup\" class=\"cta-button\">Try Usersnap Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Encrypt and store files in complete privacy with Internxt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An open-source, blockchain-based cloud service,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/internxt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internxt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a standout when it comes to safe and secure online storage.
