Hey HN, We've all seen the age old discount incentive to make a purchase: Spend $75, get $5 off your order. Givz provides online stores with a new way to drive sales: Offer custome…

Hopefully they'll be able to give DeepSpeech some more love as well.

I recently started using DigitalOcean's new app platform. It's new and still has some kinks, but they've integrated all of Heroku's open source build packs, so migrated from Heroku…

Hey HN! I’m one of the makers of Jam.dev and we’re all super excited for you to jam with Jam!

Hey HN! I wanted to share Strikr, a simple online tool for doing live technical interviews remotely. I actually built this tool earlier this year as part of a larger project, but d…

Thanks!

Happy to hear you have a solution you’re satisfied with :)

Sort of a similar use case. I think they go a little too heavy on tracking your open windows/URLs and broadcasting it, but that’s just me. Remote Hour looks really cool for the fre…

FWIW, I’m a pretty shy person and actually find the idea of Water Cooler less stressful than having to call someone, wonder if they’re going to answer, and then worry about when th…

I actually did discuss the security aspect in my first comment, although that’s a bit lost in the mix right now. Essentially, we use WebRTC for the voice/video and everything is en…

On the subject of synchronous communication, the plan is to add the ability to send video/screen sharing messages to teammates that can be watched later. I eventually want it to be…

Yeah that is a little creepy haha. Water Cooler doesn't do any surveillance like that.

Thank you! At present time, you get an environment that is designed specifically for the workplace -- more private by nature because everything is scoped to and only available to y…

In the next week or two I'm rolling out direct calls. If you don't need to do external meetings, then this could definitely nix Zoom. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it would r…

Thanks! The design is still relatively simple, but that will be changing soon as I build out more of the features. There's a 7 day free trial where you get full access to Water Coo…

Thank you!

Wait, you guys had office snacks? We barely had the bitter coffee!

Thanks, excited for you to try it! Long term, there will be an additional paid tier once we have the feature set to necessitate it. However, even at the current $8/month price it's…

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Feel free to sign up for a free account.

I actually used Pioneer earlier in the year for another project I was working on, it's great!

Hi HN! I'm Ricky, the founder of Water Cooler. I built Water Cooler to help bridge the gap between async written communication (Slack, email, etc) and live meetings. As many compan…

It was a mistake to use it to begin with.
