oVice VS Gather Town

At the same time, I believe that transitioning into management is the right move for a fair share of developers - this was definitely the case for me. It’s been over a year since I accepted a management position at oVice - a remote-first company that supports remote and hybrid teams with collaborative virtual office spaces. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

Another thing I’d like to mention is that checking in with the engineering team frequently and addressing concerns will help bridge the gap between tech workflows and business objectives.

To go beyond dull status updates on Slack, I use oVice to communicate the way I did when working at the office. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years 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
