This logic is very strange to me... "Someone can disprove specific claims with hard evidence, but because they did so, the original claim must be accurate." I don't think "everyone…

Thanks for the great feedback. This is a focus for us to figure out.

I had a hard time finding Talkshow - looks like they might have shut down (I could be wrong). But there are some relevant comments in that thread; thanks for pointing me here!

Your perspective is helpful; thanks for sharing. That’s a good point about async opening up the possibility of multi-layer threads. We’ll consider that! We’d need to figure out how…

Thanks for the encouragement! That focus for Loom sounds on-point. As you said, those are hard to do and extremely valuable, which further differentiates. Truthfully, I’m honored t…

Thanks for the feedback. Naming is hard! Is the concern that it may be too easily confused with the game? I'd love to understand your feedback a little better. We felt that PingPon…

Yes, we plan on supporting Linux soon. We built our app using Electron, so the lift shouldn't be too heavy to get it working for Linux. I'd love to have your team beta our Linux ap…

Thanks for the feedback. One of our team's best productivity hacks is using PingPong for standups and sharing our screen to show whatever it is we've been working on. It's incredib…

We don't have definitive plans at this point, but it will likely be a few dollars per user per month. But what's currently in the product will probably be free indefinitely. We hop…

Good Question. With video, anything that carries emotional content or where tone/intent can be misconstrued (e.g., gratitude, announcements, feedback, following up). With screen re…

Exactly. Many people prefer text messaging to phone calls because it’s faster and integrates with the rest of your life. Slack brought SMS to the workplace. Consumers use Snapchat,…

Currently, you can copy links and view the videos on the web. You can't organize the videos in folders like Loom, though. Our goal is to facilitate a far more seamless back-and-for…

Thanks for the encouragement and article on Figma. > By the way, I downloaded the PingPong app, and it seems great. Are you selling subscriptions, or just putting the free version …

Great question. We're focused on helping remote product teams, but I'd be happy to give premium access to educators—if they think it will help!

It’s definitely a timely idea with the remote work zeitgeist. I saw those launches and wish them the best. That said, we’re much more focused on video and screen recording, whereas…

Dang, sounds like an unfortunate experience. Now is a good time to do it! Happy to compare notes.

Very fair point. Being recorded is an interesting added dynamic vs. talking live, but you still could very well be right. It is for sure idiosyncratic.

For some transcription seems to be critical (see the search-ability knowledge comment above), but e2e is a deal-break for others. I totally understand where you're coming from too.…

Out of curiosity, is this true for voice and video or just video? We added voice recordings as a feature for people who don't want to record themselves on camera. We're also adding…

Thanks for pointing this out. Did you happen to do this in incognito or different privacy mode? We have a bug where Google auth does not work in these modes.
