This has been top-of-mind since we started on the app. We're heavy users of the app ourselves and are prioritized WLB features already. The last thing I want to see is our app used an excuse for people to work more. Instead, my hope is we can help people work more efficiently on their own terms.

How do you justify working on your phone as anything other than an invasion on your WLB?

What scenario do you anticipate people using this app? In the middle of meetings with other people? While driving? While sitting in the cafeteria on their lunch break?

I intend the app to be another option for how to get things done. I've been using it the last few months to manage building the app itself, and being a remote worker, it's freed me up to be a lot more mobile in where/how I do that work.

One of the most important next things we can build are more controls in when/how you can be reached (e.g. setting working hours).
