Behavior before brand
Every piece starts from a workplace behavior, not a product name. Tools are discussed as they relate to that behavior.
About the project
Xerigi started as internal notes passed between a few operators managing distributed and hybrid teams across Czech companies. At some point the notes got longer than the group chat could hold, so they became something closer to a publication.
This site does not sell software licenses, does not resell seats, and does not receive payment for placement in any editorial review. That distinction matters more than it might seem. Most "best tool for remote teams" content online is written by people with a commercial stake in the answer, whether through affiliate links or a product they represent.
We are, instead, people who spend our working weeks inside these tools, running standups across time zones, writing documentation nobody reads until they urgently need it, and negotiating with Czech IT departments about where company data can legally live. The writing here reflects that vantage point. It is opinionated about behavior and deliberately neutral about brand.
Hybrid work adoption in Czech companies has followed its own path, shaped by a strong in-office culture in many industries, GDPR-driven caution around where employee and customer data is processed, and a labor market where retaining staff often means offering flexibility that wasn't previously on the table.
A framework built for a fully remote Californian startup doesn't always transfer cleanly. Meeting norms, documentation habits, and even what counts as "urgent enough for a call" carry cultural assumptions. The notes on this site try to stay grounded in what actually happens inside Czech offices moving through this transition, not in a generic global template.
A handful of standing rules keep the content grounded and useful rather than promotional.
Every piece starts from a workplace behavior, not a product name. Tools are discussed as they relate to that behavior.
We avoid saying a tool or method is the best or the only correct way. Context changes what actually works.
Where possible, notes describe a concrete situation rather than an abstract principle floating without context.
Practices that seemed solid a year ago sometimes need correcting. Older pieces get revisited rather than left frozen.
