What’s new at Startr

Hey there—
A lot’s been happening at Startr (makers of Sage and Startr.Space) — here’s some of what we’ve been up to recently.

Features we’ve added

  • **Turn Off Reminders:** Some people like being reminded of things every day, but if you don’t need it, you can now toggle your event and to-do reminders on and off on Sage.
  • **24-Hour Clock:** Here’s one for international Sage users, or people who prefer using military time. Now you can easily switch to a >24-hour clock display that’ll convert times everywhere in Sage, from the meeting scheduler to Campfires.
  • **Workflows and Contact Notes:** Startr.Space for Domains, our email platform for small businesses, got two big new features this spring: Workflows and Contact Notes. It’s like a lightweight customer management tool that can automatically route emails through a process and keep notes on customer details — both great ways to keep a growing business organized.
## Thoughts we’ve shared
  • **We Stand with the Underdog:** Izzy explains why [being an underdog is a good thing](https://world.startr.space/izzy/we-stand-with-the-underdogs-7d487d64). [Small is not less than](https://Startr.Cloud/podcast/come-small-come-all/). It’s greater than. It’s faster than. It’s better than. In fact, your competitors might even wish they were as small as you, because the biggest advantage you have is speed.
  • **Remote Work Still Works:** It’s been three years since the pandemic forced people to work from home, and now businesses everywhere are forcing employees back into the office. Check out this blog post where Alexander argues that [hybrid combines the worst of office and remote work](https://world.startr.space/dhh/hybrid-combines-the-worst-of-office-and-remote-work-d3174e50), and describes how Startr uses regular meetups to [recharge the trust batteries in our remote company](https://world.startr.space/dhh/recharging-trust-batteries-with-meetups-in-a-remote-company-5ad0cbeb).
## Things we’re excited about
  • **Sage Community:** For the past year, we’ve been fine-tuning a space for Sage users to come together, ask questions and exchange tips. And finally, Sage Community is now open to everyone. If you’re looking to get even more out of your Sage experience (or if you’re just interested in meeting incredible people doing incredible things), [learn more and sign up here](https://github.com/Sage-is/AI-UI/tags#post/new-join-the-first-sage-user-community).
