Catch is awesome. Love how frictionless it is and how it facilitates hi-fidelity conversation. You can record a video much faster than you can type - especially with all the spelling mistakes I make on mobile (!%@# auto-correct!). And.. we recently had a key member of the team move down to SF. Both the frequency and quality of communication fell right off a cliff. Seeing his updates on Catch for the first time brought back that feeling of in person conversations in hi-fi.

Thanks Austin. That's great to hear! We put much effort into making the video creation as frictionless as possible. I'm sure there's even more we can do so keep sending us the awesome feedback.
Nice!!!

Thank you Drew!
At first I confused stories with user stories but now I get that it's like snap chat for teams. Very cool! Any plans to integrate with Slack? That's pretty much where my team lives.
Maker
Correct. You can use "Sign in with Slack" in Catch. We'll group your team together as a Catch team. Stories can be shared as a link to any slack channel or any app. We have a Slack App on the back burner until we nail the right workflow. We should chat about it!
Great to see this idea come alive. Congrats to the team. Asynchronous standups are absolutely better for some workplaces. But I have seen firsthand how running them in slack is totally culture killing. You lose the person you are working with! Stories seems like a great way to address that. Will be interested to see where you take it from here. What other workplace communication could run through this platform?

Thanks Isaac. We have a bunch of ideas but I'd love to hear some answers from other product hunters to your questions "What other workplace communication could run through this platform?"
Is this free?

We will be building a SaaS model around Catch when we see the right traction and demand for additional value.
thx Ryan. It has great value as of today for standups. I wish you good luck
Dope, really interesting to have stories in a business setting. I just started using Snapchat with my gf for accountability. 👍

Go STEEZY! We want to work with you.
Finally someone put stories to good use. All the best guys! 👍
Stories for team (aka Group Stories) concept is awesome. Congratulations on your launch! I recently wrote a medium post about why Group stories is interesting (for Snapchat): .

Thanks for the mention your wonderful post! Group stories are indeed interesting. If you haven't seen it yet you can check out our launch day story here:

Also, you should check out our post with our thoughts on the Stories model:
It's great to see communication trends for consumers making their way into the workspace. It makes the work a little more human, and there are some types of communication for which these new models simply work better. Excited to give it a try!
To each fair its own share: after some time playing with it, I found a couple of use cases to which Catch can really be a kick-arse resource for teams. We'll be taking it for a spin in a small project/team. The ability to create scheduled/recurrent “Topics” functionality is really an awesome feature. Instead of a virtual stand-up app, such as it is, we simulated using it as a milestone/delivery agreement and approvals log; and its fantastic. Each Topic can be a step forward into development, as it then can serve as a full record of everybody's approval, comments, agreements and whatnot. I'm starting to see some exciting possibilities for Catch, not necessarily within the Stories concept, but really cool nonetheless.
