Kona integrates with Slack, making it incredibly easy to use. The notifications and reminders are very helpful. I get a ton of value out of the reminders before each 1:1 meeting, and my team often uses the check-ins as a way to help each other out.

Kona is not like other status update tools. Kona updates are focused on how we're doing as humans. It helps the team stay connected as people first, work second. Bonding as a team in a fully remote work culture can be incredibly difficult. Kona turns it into a daily habit and ritual for my team. We're all responsible for and at liberty to care for and check in on each other. As the team's manager, it provides me insights around team health -- who might be moving toward burnout or who's in a groove and might be able to help others out. I'm also able to glean some insights on how psychologically safe the team is feeling at any given moment.
