The Challenge
A technical founder needed a structured collaboration tool that could handle the complexity of distributed teams working on multiple projects simultaneously. The platform needed to track milestones, facilitate agreements, integrate with GitHub, and provide real-time updates—all while being intuitive enough for non-technical team members.
The challenge was building a flexible system that could adapt to different team workflows while maintaining structure and accountability through clear agreements and time tracking.
