I built a video calling app which is the antithesis of Zoom. It's called Reslash. You can play with everything - backgrounds, gifs, stickers. You can recreate a bar lounge, classroom, office, 80s party and more. It also has spatial audio - just move closer to talk to people, like you do IRL. Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zwXL7ZJra4 You can sign up here: https://reslash.co I would love to get your feedb…

Love it. It would be especially cool to be able to create filters, e.g. chroma keying on your video to integrate it into the space. Or just to make the colors go wonky and have fun with the image.

Wow. Cool idea. We definitely need to look into this!

That video answers every question I had about why someone might choose Reslash over Discord, thanks. Reslash looks fun.

Thanks!

Feedback: I just had a quick tour with you guys. Amazing tool. But at first I signed in as a guest, but now I want to sign up with the same email address but it says "Error occured: The email address is already in use by another account.". And I see no "Forgot password" link. EDIT: user email is now in my bio.

fixing it!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There are around 20 different startups doing something like this. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R5DXWtz4H7eIT5VbGYJE...

Compare reslash's UI/UX to here's and you'll see it's more than just "similar". They literally copied the control bar at the bottom identically.

We've similarities to here but our spatial audio is completely different. We can also handle upto 100 people in a room.

I feel like I'm out of touch with current western culture, I honestly feel like I'm becoming an old fart at the age of 30. Everything is becoming increasingly infantile. Everything has to be fun and cool. I'm wondering where is this trend coming from. Is this some sort of a social response to how terrible and bleak reality seems to be? Or maybe it's because we actually treat majority of people like little children. I…

I wouldn't use it for work, and for that reason I like the idea of something being the opposite of work... where it doesn't have to be "professional" looking.

You can make it "look" professional if you want.

I was interested in building something like this when COVID-19 first hit. I think it's still a space with a lot of potential, but there are now a huge number of competitors. I made a spreadsheet and add to it each time I see one of these products come up on HN: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R5DXWtz4H7eIT5VbGYJE... There are currently at least 18 projects operating in this space. - The majority (maybe all?)…

A few more for your list .. https://gather.town , https://party.mookerj.ee , https://www.wonder.me , http://workadventu.re , https://theonline.town/

There are competitors but our focus is on making sure people are able to build highly personalized spaces. The experience is vastly different than others.

I joined and couldn't see my own face or bubble. I clicked around trying to figure that part out but didn't get it. I saw other people could easily publish content to the board and I think that part is a step forward. I could have clicked chess/gif and posted something but exited there. When I join, I'd like a clear "you are here" with my own face looking back at me.

Feedback taken! We'll improve upon this :)

Similar products to this exist - wonder.me, and gather.town.

You're right. Multiple startups trying to solve this problem. We want to stand out by making it incredibly easy for teams to build personalized spaces.

Really cool but why is there no text chat? Edit: I communicate with my friends IRL primarily through text so having to use audio only is definitely a detractor for me.

We'll have to reimagine chat a bit for the platform. It's under works!
