This looks very well done from the product side of things, but how is it better than having a slack channel for the team to post async standup updates in? Seems a lot simpler than using another service, and more flexible since you can add links or tag other people.

I really didn't want to make another async chat/text-based bot. I wanted to bring a bit of the on-site feeling / face-time human contact to teams that are remote, specially those that are very distant, with a big timezone difference. Working remotely is amazing, but it also has some problems, and I just wanted to help solving the issue of loss of real human touch, (people's expressions/smiles, etc), so that teams get…

And aligning video thumbnails next to each other helps reduce the loss of human touch you think?

What about closed captions for the hearing impaired ? I have a friend who works in tech in SF and he has trouble doing video interviews because of this. He is really good at lip reading but sometimes it's really hard to follow.

The closed captions generation doesn't have to work in real time.

Hi HN! I'm JP, founder of Standups.io. Last March, I resigned from my full-time iOS job with the idea of making a web/mobile app for async video standups. I did some traveling (China/Vietnam) while I started to work on the app, but eventually ended up back in Germany, escaping South Asia's rainy season :) The idea of async video standups started to grow on me since last December when I was in the north of Brazil. I w…

I love the idea. I am working on something similar. Good luck to you :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Planking? SV culture is parodying itself at this point. That is truly ridiculous.

I love how you've automatically assumed we're based in Silicon Valley. Trademark HN armchair critiquing at it's finest!

To be fair, "SV culture" != "SV location".

This is a perfect use case for async video. Nice work! What’s the follow up look like? Can I comment on videos to ask questions or do you imagine that being done through existing channels?

Thank you for your interest! Yes replies/follow-ups are on the roadmap and will come soon by eing able to reply video/audio/text (with tags).

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.

Footer CTAs are now fixed :) Thank you for letting me know.

Awesome! Good idea, great execution! I am also a brazilian (you too, right?) solo founder ( https://www.oneonemeeting.com/ , for one-on-one meetings); although I am keeping my day job. We are forming a group of indie hackers around here in São Paulo to keep in touch. It seems you are in Germany now, but if you are interested, let me know! Email in the profile! Good luck!

Congrats on the app! I saw it a few days ago. Best of luck! :) If anything just contact me to jp at standups.io or let's follow each other on Twitter, my handle is @restrex

I am from Chile, but left almost 10 years ago, but I try to come back as often as I can. If I ever make it to Sao Paulo, I'll let you know. :)

You are truly right and this is definitely something I personally would like to implement as soon as possible. Thank you so much for bringing it up.

I think that the solution would have to be just using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text to get a text transcript and be able to overlay it on the video.

Please contact me via jp at standups.io as I'd love to hear more details on how it'd a good way for your friend to easily use this feature.
