We email you at day's end and ask, "What'd you get done today?" Just reply. The next morning, you'll get a digest that shows you the team's accomplishments from yesterday. Start a conversation and share your thanks. Our approach is to build software that you don't have to remember to use. We're focused on keeping it simple and lightweight because software should amplify what you get done, not get in the way. We make design decisions based on customer feedback & data, social science, and our gut. I Done This was part of **[AngelPad](http://angelpad.org) #3** in 2011.
