We'll have to reimagine chat a bit for the platform. It's under works!

You're right. Multiple startups trying to solve this problem. We want to stand out by making it incredibly easy for teams to build personalized spaces.

Feedback taken! We'll improve upon this :)

There are competitors but our focus is on making sure people are able to build highly personalized spaces. The experience is vastly different than others.

You can make it "look" professional if you want.

Our tech - we can handle twice the number of people in a room! We'll also be integrating work apps on to the platform.

We've similarities to here but our spatial audio is completely different. We can also handle upto 100 people in a room.

Thanks!

Wow. Cool idea. We definitely need to look into this!
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
You can have up to 100 people in a room. You have unlimited rooms. We're also building a broadcast feature so that you can talk/announce across rooms.

We've not given flexibility on the spatial audio radius yet. It could be interesting!

Good observation. Pricing needs to be calibrated and communicated properly. On it!!
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
We'll definitely be bringing such a plan. Until then, please go ahead and use it as much as you want :) Feedback taken!

Hey! We have gotten a lot of feedback on pricing. We need to fix it. Please go ahead and start using it! We'll have an in-between pricing soon :)

You got the creativity and expression bit right. That's a big motivator. For the positioning, I do understand your point. We may need to explore this a bit more to really convey what we're trying to do better.
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
I would disagree. How is solving for better communication not meaningful?

There was New Hive. That's one of our inspirations. I am not sure how many people have used that..
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
Preach!!
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
Oh, weird. Let me DM you and get that fixed for you.

Someone told me about this today!! We need to build a tribute to The Palace within the product. On it.

We'll be adding a lot more games to it. The calls are all end-to-end encrypted. We'll be adding more security features like passwords, locked rooms and gatekeeping to get this aspect right.
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
We've actually a lot of interest for virtual events, offices and classrooms :)
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
You can have multiple rooms. This means you can unlimited people in the space. We're also building a broadcast feature so that you can present to all the rooms at the same time. So, the crowd can still talk to each other while listening to a presentation.

This seems interesting. I'll check it out!
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
We actually were #1 on Product Hunt. We launched on it couple of weeks ago :)

I am actually 32 haha I do understand where you're coming from. However, our motivation around this was to have an emotional response to space. The idea of personalizing your space where you're spending time is an important one. We also want to be treated like people online and not boxes. So the whole idea of being on "mute" when you're listening to someone needs to be challenged.

This is probably not an answer to what you've asked. I just wanted to tell you about how motivations behind building this.

Makes a lot of sense!
remotelyyours··on Show HN: I built the antithesis of Zoom. Add GIFs, stickers, BGs. Talk like IRL
Thank you! How do you think you can potentially use this?

Thanks!

I built a video calling app which is the antithesis of Zoom. It's called Reslash.

You can play with everything - backgrounds, gifs, stickers. You can recreate a bar lounge, classroom, office, 80s party and more.

It also has spatial audio - just move closer to talk to people, like you do IRL.

Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zwXL7ZJra4

I would love to get your feedback on it :)
