Hello fellow HN,
For the past month I have been working on a communication tool for remote developers. I like to think of it like Discord but for work.
For context, since the pandemic, my company have been more flexible in term of working remotely. Although we do use tools like Microsoft Teams to communicate with each other, I still feel that there are something missing.
In an office environment, If I have a question for my team members, I can just hop into his desk with my laptop and have a chat. This sort of interaction is a bit hard to replicate online with existing tool. I think because the act of "calling" someone makes it a barrier to have this sort of small chats. That's why I created https://www.inoffice.chat.
What makes Inoffice different is that there is no "call" concept. If you see someone you want to talk to you can just hop into his "desk" and start talking. You can also see who your other team member are talking to and join in if you want.
I'm hoping by reducing the barrier of initiating a conversation with your team member, it can promote you to talk more with your team members.
Any feedback is welcome.
Thank You!
