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.

Re: Show HN: Standup tool that works like Snapchat stories for remote teams
#42Hi 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! Where do you store the videos? What's your tech stack? Maybe read/watch receipts for who has watched the videos right beneath the videos themselves would be an improvement.
Thanks so much. :)
I store the videos/media on S3 and use CloudFront for cache.
Tech stack is Node.js on Heroku, MongoDB, ReactJS with MobX (if you're doing ReactJS these I must say you _have_ to be using MobX, it's just amazing, shoutout to @mweststrate), Netlify (they're really great) and AWS Lambda.
Thanks for mentioning read/watch/"seen", as it is on the roadmap and will come in the next days. It can be toggled off, so final decision will be up to the manager/team :)

I like the concept but I do struggle with the price point for 1.5 minute videos per day.
Hello :) Thank you! The timebox will be toggleable soon, I just left it fixed during the first version waiting to get feedback on it. Storage space is not really an issue, so timebox will be defined by the manager/team.

#44Hi 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!
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 e…
Will do! And great about just wanting to launch! Better err and correct than keep waiting till have a perfect plan (which will never come anyway :p)

What stack are you using to record, trancode (?), and store the videos?
Thanks for asking! I was looking into the transcoding for quite some time, but due to my previous experience working at an IPTV company in Toronto (they sold a bunch of their channels to Rogers), I was familiar with ffmpeg / encoders in general. So I decided to skip Amazon Elastic Transcoder and do my own Lambda transcoder, which resulted in a way cheaper solution for it. All videos recorded are in H.264 and VP8 counterparts, for easy playout on iOS (H.264) and Android (VP8/H.264).

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!

Very cool! Did you build this completely by yourself?

Hey JP - great work, love this! We also believe that asynchronous video is a way better experience when it comes to stand ups. We've been working on a similar video product (https://agile.trytape.com/) that tackles all of Agile so it's great to see more activity in this space.

Hey bdagnino - we've been building out an asynchronous video-based communication tool for remote teams like yours that supports Agile workflows and effectively improves team chemistry. Would love to hear your feedback: https://agile.trytape.com/ (dave [at] trytape.com)

#50Add a slack integration that reminds team members to post their standup story and you've got gold for remote teams
Hey deedubya - Tape provides a similar tool with a deep Slack integration (https://agile.trytape.com/). Beyond Stand Up, Tape is great for other elements of Agile as well as improving team chemistry for remote organizations. I'd love to hear your feedback (dave [at] trytape.com)
