Ask HN: How to make your remote life better?

I'm starting a small side project with the goal of creating useful tools for fully or partially remote teams. I think the main collaboration tools (chat, video, screen sharing) have been covered pretty well, but there seems to be a lack of more "team management" type tools.

Some ideas include:

- Onsite trip planning (A flight aggregator but you can input numerous departure cities and find the best combination to bring the team together at various destinations)

- Quick timezone availability/scheduling integration with G suite.

- Onboarding. Send schwag to new employees at their house.

As a remote employee/founder what tools do you wish you had in your day to day arsenal that don't exist?

    This would be really helpful.
