The problems aren't really a tooling issue.

Slack + JIRA + Github + Google suite already does everything.

The biggest problems that need solving with remote work are social - things like politics, getting recognition, raises, etc.

Sneek looks really good. I like the idea of taking periodical snapshots to have a feel that you are almost connected with your team mates.

Any rough idea on the number of teams using sneek ?

I hope you are being sarcastic.
