This is a collection of additional resources that might be useful in building a Hygge company.

Handbooks

• Old Valve Handbook and its 2023 YouTube review heavily influenced our guiding principles. Valve is a good example of a company that has been pumping out cutting-edge products for decades with their own internal issues, but without becoming a cancerous evil corp.
• GitLab with its Remote Playbook and Handbook is another place where we stole ideas from.
• Zapier has a lot of materials about remote work and great tips about internal communication in distributed teams.
• Buffer shares everything they know about remote work in their blog, and some ideas resonate with the Hygge work approach.
