Have you tried Lago (open source billing)? This is precisely what they do, their HN launch is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34773442 They listed the billing engineering nightmares too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31424450

How do you monitor for tax compliance changes, especially for international usage?

Thanks for sharing, super helpful infos!

Should be fixed, if you want to try again :)

Officely's a Slack app (where Café is a iOS+Android+Web app)

Also, Officely have more restrictive features (you can't do everything within Slack)

1. Café can't "automatically correct" your status, but if you're using the Slack integration, you'll see that what's displayed isn't right.

2. We're working on the Calendar integrations (Google Calendar and MS Outlook) to crack that topic

3. Yup, it's even linked with the company's HR system to automatically sync your paid leaves in Café!

We thought about that feature, it would be "subscribe to someone" and being able to see your "highlights" as well are your team. I would answer your parking problem I guesss!

Hope your spidey senses are working fine!

We offer a free plan up to 50 seats for team that want to use Café with their own team indeed. The most value comes when the whole company is on the product though.

Thanks for the support

Thanks, really appreciate!

We plan to focus on the Social experience between people (from the same company at first, then we'll see!)

We only use Slack as a display channel because our value is in the agenda visibility.

If Slack rolls out a "work location status" it'll be mostly for the "right now" moment (like our integration) and if they plan to extend this feature in an agenda, it'll be very difficult to make it exist within all the other features that are for "live communication"

Every admin can set the max office capacity (nb of seats) and when reaching that limit, people need to double confirm they want to go to the office while there's an over capacity.

If there's an over capacity, we give the information to everyone (users & admins) and let admins resolve this conflict with a dataset of info (like the position in the queue or the teams)

In your case, if people don't pay attention to the "booking system" then they can't complain about not getting access to your office though

Thx for the help :)

We've also talked to someone from Sqreen (acquired by Datadog) who did the same, a simple app for internal purposes

Would love to have your feedback & impression on the product if you're down for a quick call

Many thanks, we're going to update that right away!

Here's a quick video (1min) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSOGPCXSIB8

And a longer video (3min) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSQu3e0LzzA

No worry, didn't take it as an aggressive attack :)

Thanks for all the good vibes and feedback though!

Thanks for the feedback! We'll find a better way to make this step optional

UX and engagement is everything in our case.

The value brought by the product is only based on the Visibility provided by people and Usage/Habits they have with it.

Will do that, thanks for the feedback Kurt :)

We've been told many times that we were just a feature. Didn't stopped us from building our product, get 1000+ companies onboard and moving closer to profitability everyday!

The market looks simple, as the solution, but the problem is huge. You can have 3 days of remote per day, meaning you can not see one of your teammate for a lifetime if you don't coordinate.

We're going to see each other less but we don't want to stop seeing each other. The creativity and brainstorming sessions can't happen through zooms calls, most people need to do it in person.

Can't wait to see how 2022 will look like though!

Not cool. Can you ping us on our Livechat or through contact at at.cafe so we can help you solve this?

Because we want that big vison to become true where there's a dedicated tool for hybrid teams that's employee-first. Improving Social Relationships between people in a company is no easy thing! Hopefully and with our team's hard work it'll be a big thing

We're adding the MS Office Calendar integration this week! Companies we're serving are starting at 100 people, you're 100% right!

Wow, thanks for the details in your feedback.

We'll rework the wording & landing page based on all the feedback, it's awesome, thanks again!

Thanks!

We want to build the hybrid tool that's improving Culture and Socialization through companies, not just a quick feature like Slack statuses

BambooHR is great for holidays, that's why we're integrating with them to get paid-leaves from people and sync them directly in Café. It's easier and it makes the data live within Slack

We're actually working on a 2 dimensions Map (localization and time) so you can view who's going to be in which city in the future.

That map will meet another feature (Events) where people can create an Event at a specific location (in or out the office) and specific date!

Would love to send you some screenshots of how it looks to see if it would answer your pain

Café is live on Product Hunt today (and right now #2 in the ranking ).

Café empowers you to make good decisions when it comes to "When should I go to the office?"

If you could help us stay there, that would be awesome

Thanks for your help on this special day!
