We all want to build great software -- as quickly as possible. Here are three blockers we often hear from developers:

• Getting everyone aligned

  Get ideas across clearly with a clear problem statement and requirements. Use a tool like Tara to get sign-off before you start.

• Visibility into actual progress

  Code changes are the best indicators of progress. Use tools that enable transparency. With Tara, everyone can see commits, blocks, and merges for a sense of true progress.

• Manual status updates

  Manual updates are the achilles heel of every project. Use tools that automate tedious, low-value actions -- like Tara’s auto-status that marks tasks as done when a PR merges.

One workspace for your team’s docs, sprints, and tasks synced to code. Plus an API for custom workflows. Get started on Tara for free.

Programming has gotten surprisingly hard. Building a simple form to POST data back to your API means wrangling with redux and thunks. Oh, and debouncing that submit button. Everything but solving the business problem.

Retool is a new approach: we’ve unified the ease of visual programming with the power and flexibility of real code. Drag and drop a form together, and have it POST back to your API in minutes. Deploy instantly with access controls and audit logs.

Allbirds uses Retool to measure billboard efficacy. Amazon uses Retool to handle GDPR requests. You, too, can use it to build business-critical applications fast.

Mux Video is an API to powerful video streaming (like Stripe for Video), built by the founders of Zencoder and creators of Video.js, and a team of ex-YouTube and Twitch engineers. Take any video file or live stream and make it play beautifully at scale on any device, powered by magical-feeling features like automatic thumbnails, animated gifs, and data-driven encoding decisions. Spend your time building what people want, not drudging through ffmpeg documentation.
