Ask HN: Pull-based work location/schedule status
1 comments
I usually just used something like Lync or another instant messenger that allows statuses. That way you can set online/busy/away/out-to-lunch and so on as well as custom statuses. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Right now we send emails or update the messaging system or you look at the individual's calendar.
What I want is for it to be a pull workflow - I can go see if Joe is going to be late or working from home because I care specifically about Joe's status, rather than Joe sending an email to everyone because he doesn't know who cares about his status.
Anybody know a good tool for this?
