How to Collaborate with a Cofounder Remotely?

Question

I recently started working on a project with a technical cofounder, and most of the collaboration we do now is on email, but the threads get super clunky and long, and its impossible to recall what we had spoken about a certain topic weeks ago, and impossible to find the topic we discuss on the threads. I was thinking of using google docs for certain topics and take it from there but still not sure about that. Trello is more about to-do lists, which doesnt fit. I want to be able to collaborate with my cofounder and keep up to date for different topics and subtopics, say one is for fundraising, the other is for packaging the product and fulfillment, the other is for product requirements, the other is for branding, and etc. Then, when I need to look up what we've discussed about fundraising, I can just look it up and then update it there frictionless and super easy. Google docs seems like a good idea, but not good in practice. Any other tools?

Okay! Totally reminds me of my old pain points as a PM.
I’m biased with my workflow, since I built the tool, but my cofounder and I use Amna to manage our work. It’s not really collaborative (yet), but you can group the things you mention by task.
So for example, I might make a task called “product packaging”. I click on it. Amna gives a browser. It’s basically chrome, so you do your work normally. Open all the right tabs. E.g, open Gmail, research sellers. And once I’m done, I just leave the task.
All the threads and information are saved for next time.
To get back, it’s as easy clicking on a task again, and you get back in the flow really fast.
Though it doesn’t replace your Google Doc problem, it does reduce all that hopping around with. You don’t need to have a complex organization system, just do you work once in Amna, and you’ll know where it is!
You’re welcome to give it a try!
