Tools like Gather Town to encourage more ad hoc group interaction. One team I led used this tool daily for nearly a year, and the frequency and quality of our interactions were on par with an in-person office. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

Well, after some more googling I found a good candidate: gather.town if anyone is interested. Source: 12 months ago

I'm really digging gather.town for this. Our team has it set up & the ad-hoc "meetings" have gone up tremendously. You can choose to engage or not but it seems to be way more informal than slack for a quick sync, which is a gigantic strength imo. Source: about 1 year ago

Do other platforms already provide something similar? While I've been picking up calls mostly in meeting / silent rooms (times of gathering around a jabra like a camping bonfire are fortunately gone for now) - some of the users of a platform that I've built (https://flat.social) would occasionally experience the atrocious feedback whistle while being in physical proximity. - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

Same here! I've been running my own digital products (https://flat.social and some smaller ones) and bridging the gap with consulting. For me, the flexibility lead to a fully location-independent lifestyle which allowed me to work from places where I feel at my best.

I built https://flat.social that has whiteboarding functionalities (among others). Not as advanced as Miro or FigJam but useful for quick diagrams during meetings / brainstorming. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Does this mean that ZOOM is basically using every attendee's audio and video stream to train their models? How do they define the "Service Generated Data"? I made a video-conferencing app for virtual events (https://flat.social). No audio and video is ever recorded, packets are only forwarded to subscribed clients. Frankly, while designing the service it didn't even cross my mind to use this data for anything else... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
