Ask Michael #12: Nozbe office?

Nozbe And here it is – the last episode of the first season of “Ask Michael!” Today Michael answers two questions we get all the time: After the previous episode, you already know that we run Nozbe with Nozbe – and without an office. Why do we only work remotely? Who else follows that approach? And where, actually, can you visit us? Watch the new episode! What now? We’re wrapping up the first season of “Ask Michael.

Ask Michael #11: Apps we use to run Nozbe

Nozbe

As a tech company, we’re armed with many apps to run our business. Some of you are curious about which apps we use and how. That’s where “Ask Michael” comes in!

Since we’re in No Office model, we have no other choice than using the best available services and applications to get our work done, to communicate and to discuss our efforts. But that’s just one side of the coin. In fact, playing with new things and upgrading our toolset is our passion. :)

Ask Michael #10: Reference Materials in Completed Tasks

Nozbe Did you know that you can always restore completed projects and tasks? If you don’t remove them, we keep them on our servers. So you can bring them back! You don’t appreciate it until you need it. That applies to health and… data backup. With Nozbe, you can be confident that you can restore all uploaded files and written comments (unless you intentionally delete them). Today Michael explains: Why do we store all that data?

Ask Michael #9: Your Data Privacy Explained

Nozbe Let us introduce another episode of Michael’s weekly video series! This time, he talks about the security and privacy of the data that you input and store with Nozbe. We’re not paranoid. We don’t believe in Earth-threatening aliens. But if they existed, we would be ready for that. There are, obviously, much more predictable accidents that could destroy or compromise our databases. And if you have read any news about enormous data leaks and password hacks, you might be reasonably concerned.

Ask Michael #8: Feature Requests at Nozbe

Nozbe 10 years in business – and just as many years listening to customers. We get feature requests every single day. And that’s what the latest “Ask Michael” episode is about! You might be curious what we do with your requests. Are they stored somewhere? Does anyone read them? First, we carefully review your requests. Then we save them in a special Nozbe project. And use them while planning future releases. But our experience tells us that (usually) simply adding new features isn’t actually what you really want.

Ask Michael #7: Nozbe & Slack

Nozbe Nozbe isn’t the only app we use to get things done. We also use Slack. The natural question is: is integration between these apps on the way? Although we strongly prefer asynchronous communication because it doesn’t disrupt deep work, we need more “live” and less action-focused field too – to keep a healthy balance. Slack handles this very well. Check out what Michael has to say about Slack, its role on our team and the future of integration between Nozbe and Slack:

Ask Michael #6: How does Michael use Nozbe to run the company?
