Post Description

I built a tool that helps reduce meetings. Instead of long Slack threads or scheduled meetings, you send quick video messages to each other.

- Slack is too noisy - Zoom is too heavy - Loom is too one-way

Why is this different? We invented a "stream" which works like a real-time, multiplayer story. - It's low cognitive load and immersive - Catching up feels natural and effortless

Yes, audio-only, text, and screen-clips are also supported.

It's available on Mac + Windows. The free tier is perfect for standup at small startups (50 messages free every day).

Warning: it's keyboard-driven. You must learn the keybindings.
