Hi JP!

I´m a founder of a 20pp fully remote company, and I think your product could have a great impact! However seeing such a high (in my opinion) price per month per user is an issue for me. This product, while super useful, cover only a small portion of the remote dynamics we face each day, and that price per month per user in our case at least doesn´t justify it.

Loved the idea thought, so all the best!

Add a slack integration that reminds team members to post their standup story and you've got gold for remote teams

Thank you for your comment. I've been seriously thinking about this, but I want to do it in a way that doesn't convert it into a chat/text-based bot :-) But like you say, as a reminder/notification via Slack it sounds nice, I dig it and will try to do this soon!

Really like the idea. What about android and iOS version? It would make everything even more easier.

Hello :) The apps are coming in the next few weeks. iOS is almost done at the moment, but still tweaking a few things.

First off, thank so much for your feedback. I'm truly happy that you think it can make a great impact! :) On the other hand, pricing is something that I will definitely be taking a look into soon: for now, I just wanted to launch, so I made it per seat with 1 plan, no fencing of features at all. Entreprise/business (lots of seats) is on the roadmap, let's talk so we can workout a discount for now. Please send me an email at jp at standups.io Thanks :)

I haven't tried to use it, but in case it's helpful, these would be the features I would want: jot down notes before record, allow preview and then re-record, allow saving text notes with the video, allow tagging people if you need them to see a stand-up (ex. to ask for help), be able to see who has viewed your stand-up, and a minimum stand-up time. Slack integration would be great too, as each recorded message could pop into a slack channel when ready (I don't know how notifications work right now)

Standups are awesome when done right... but unfortunately, given that my team works fairly independently, standups end up getting stretched because some member of the team prolongs his/her update to get a team opinion on either a design issue or a technical problem (or a product issue).

The simple way we time-box our stand ups is by planking [1] while giving standup updates. This ensures each person speaks for [1] https://www.livestrong.com/article/538593-what-is-the-planki...
