Did you do any analysis on how highly income levels correlate with percent of remote workers? Or was it more of an observation based on the top few and bottom few cities?
A complaint I've heard from my remote coworkers is: "Yeah, I like to have lunch with ya'll when I'm there. But when you're remote, like, the whole day is just sitting staring at a computer. The last thing I'm interested in is having my lunch/eating time be more of that". Have you considered doing something along the lines of real walks "together", using headphones?
Very cool! I love the idea of reactive avatars. In general, I find it annoying to have to upload a profile photo, so being able to select an avatar, and then have it be responsive, is great.
