My company internally built and then open-sourced Qube[1], which has a lot of similarities, but just integrates with Slack and Zoom. A lot less ambitious, I'd say, but we're very happy with it.

#32Will give this a try. As a remote team, this is the sort of stuff we’re always interested in iterating and improving upon. I will say, the pricing feels like it will be a deal breaker. The product will need to add a ton of value to justify that price point. I’d honestly expect something like this to be closer to 4 or 5 dollars per month per person. What’s the best way to share feedback with the team?
Thanks for the feedback! We have Intercom integrated, so you can ping us founders directly from the app. Would love to get your thoughts after you've tried it with your team.

#36We use Tandem extensively: the killer feature is that during screenshares you get to control a pointer that the other person can see on their screen, which makes pair programming over Tandem feel basically the same as in person. It was especially useful when onboarding a dev onto a new section of code that they had never touched before, and also when unblocking someone who was having trouble learning to use the IDE.

#37After reading these projects, I’m curious why people can’t leave a paper note or memo on the desk.
Interesting - can you say more?
It also indicates the matter is important enough for the original person to walk up and deliver a note.

#38This is exactly what I've been hoping someone would build, thank you and congrats!
Thanks! It's not the secret to life, the universe, and everything...or is it?

This is really cool. It reminds me of Sococo but way more integrated with the tools out there. Any chance I could give it a try? What happens when you click the slack button in the team list? You can send a direct message to that teammate?
If you hit the Slack button it opens a link to that Slack chat. If you are in a room with a group it'll open a group DM to the other people present. (I personally rarely use the Slack button because any given DM or channel in Slack is only ever alt+tab and ctrl+k away, but that's just me.)

#40I used to be a big fan of a similar tool https://www.sococo.com/ . However it seems to have stopped getting much love in recent years. Seems like Tandem is cheaper and has some nice extra features - so looking forward to trying it out!
