We are a heavy user of Zoom for meetings, but we found it to be too heavy for lightweight interactions.
Edit: considering there's a chrome devtools menubar option exposed in the app I'm guessing my assumption is correct haha. After fiddling with it for ~5 minutes, it seems annoying that I'm unmuted every time I join a new room. Is this intentional? If not, I think an option to join muted by default would be pretty helpful.
So I am very curious to try this. But I'm still having trouble grokking what the features are. If there were a video, that would be really helpful. I don't want just to add it to my Slack without knowing what's going to happen.
That's a great idea. We'll create a video of us using it. Also, you could try signing up with Google and create a personal team. Then, if you like it you can use Slack for your team.
What stack are the user-facing applications written in? I'm assuming since you're already multi-platform with such a small team that it's an Electron/ReactNative/something else binary packaged for each different OS, rather than 3 codebases?

You could try using CMD+SHIFT+m to mute yourself immediately after joining a room.
We 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.
Is this different from what Slack and Zoom can do already? Not trying to knock it, just curious. My office is about to get a little more remote, and I was considering getting everyone into Discord, so I'm very interested in trying this.
Think of it as push-to-talk, 2.0, with a richer sense of presence (seeing what work app, so you know if you're interrupting anything).
Congrats on the launch guys! We tried Tandem early on and its always magic to see cursors of team-mates floating on GitHub PRs when its under review. We are a heavy user of Zoom for meetings, but we found it to be too heavy for lightweight interactions.
After reading these projects, I’m curious why people can’t leave a paper note or memo on the desk.
