I like the idea, and it looks nice, but this is definitely one of those products that would benefit immensely from a video intro instead of static screenshots that don’t convey nearly enough.

Also your free trial buttons are broken (visually, wrap and break) on small mobile screens.

Great idea. From the screenshot the UI looks very sterile. Would be great if the actual video content would get more screen estate to focus on the team and not on the UI controls. Also, why is your app not advertised on the website? I think the app should be the main entry point to your tool and not a web dashboard.

FWIW I think the screenshots look great. If someone’s going to use this tool every day, you want to emphasize the videos and faces that change every day—not the buttons and links.

You are totally right... I like that idea. Thank you! I'll be updating this soon and actually make a video to show the changing days with different videos. :-)

Hello there :) You are absolutely right. Thank you for your suggestion, I will be updating the landing page soon with a video showing how it will be changing day by day with the normal usage for a team.

Hmm, it doesn't seem to work. Is it live/ready or still in development? I tried it just now and tried to send/record my message but it is not working. Just got a spinner.

That seems odd, let me take a look into it. Could you please open the Live Chat (when logged in, go to the Help sidebar and on the dropdown menu click Live Chat Support, so I can help you more on this. Thank you :)

Created an account - UX is a little clunky:

have a + button to create a team.

Please have the ability to do a test/add a bot/test user.

Can I store the meeting? Get attendance reports? Notes?

If I create the meeting, but I dont attend/go on vacation what happens?

I can't see how to use it without having an actual other person to test it out with...

I should be able to take/store personal video-notes, then share those out with a team/create a meeting based on them perhaps?

For add member - please provide me a link I can just send to people to have them click and add themselves as a member.

What happens when the teams get quite large?

I love async/remote standup as an idea - but have yet to find the right tool for it. I'd love to help provide feedback...

Sadly, I hope that you can sell - as I know that when it comes to /month pricing, this will be harder to sell in lots of companies (Gsuite is only $5/month per user for full email - which will have a higher-perceived value than standup subscription)
