A couple of weeks back, we launched How I Work (
http://how-i-
work.com). It's a free web site to help developers find tools to
increase their productivity. The thing that's different about How I
Work is that it's screencast based because we think that figuring out
if a tool will work for you is much easier if you can see it in action
and understand the workflow. How I Work also has tags, voting, view
tracking, and a full commenting system to help developers quickly
locate the best of the tools relevant to the kind of work they do.
For the launch, we featured screencasts from Ryan Singer (37signals)
on UI/app design, Optimizely explained by Dan Siroker who used A/B
testing to increase donations by tens of millions of dollars for the
Obama campaign, and tips on capistrano deployment by Charles Wood.
Over 1700 people watched 2600+ screencasts in the first three days!
We've now got a new set of featured contributors as of this week:
* Cool emacs productivity tips & OS X setup by Ryan McGeary(@rmm5t) --

* Reach new heights of inefficiency through automation by Zach Holman

inefficiencies
* Why is Hoptoad a better way to track and manage production errors?
http://how-i-work.com/workbenches/7-using-hoptoad-to-manage-app-errors
I'd love to hear any feedback people have on how to make it better.
Also, the ultimate value is going to come from people like everyone on
this list contributing screencasts of what they've learned that helps
them get more done. So please take a few minutes to create a
workbench showing how you work!
Thanks,
Steve
