If there is one tool that saved me the most time and back-and-forth communication last year, it's Calendly. It makes the process of scheduling such a no brainer that it's amazing there was nothing like it before. They recently added an integration with Zoom which makes scheduling video calls even easier.

As our product is open source and gets contributions from many developers we needed something to help us with a consistent code style. We chose Prettier for our JavaScript code and autopep8 for out Python code.

As a fully remote team we needed a reliable tool for video calls. We tried appear.in for some time as it was nice to use a tool that uses web technologies and doesn't require a dedicated client. But eventually, as we needed a reliable tool, we decided to go all in with Zoom. 💯

When I saw the founders of Cypress introduce it in some conference I knew I found the tool we needed to start writing E2E testing. What I like about it is that it provides a comprehensive solution for the whole lifecycle of writing E2E tests for your application, from the API you need to write the tests to showing you why they fail. It's also nice that other tools/services in the testing space, like Percy, integrate with them now.
