First 2 days of Speak experiments in team @teleportinc have been very promising (9+ people, 6 countries, 10h max timezone diff). a little sad our full staff call on Monday will have to fall back to Hangouts until Win/Linux clients... keep up the good work, @tommoor & team!
Hey Gang, one of the engineers here, the founders will be online when the west coast wake up but if you have any questions during european or east coast working hours I'll be around! We'd love your feedback!

Definitely going to try this with my team. I love Slack integration!

How does it compare to zello? (Except for the fact that they don't have a desktop client)
@guidokok hey! We're very focused on remote teams, less so on traditional walkie-talkie use cases.. so the product includes a lot of neat features for this usecase such as presence, status messages and timezones.
Audio and the desktop widget are just the first step ;)
Been testing Speak for @tommoor over the past couple of months; loved how the design process progressed through multiple stages; all based on observing user behaviour.
The thing that stands out is the conversation grouping; and the instant information it gives you. You couldn't easily get that from Skype or general purpose audio chat apps. This is "team specific".
You can definitely tell that the guys have studied what on-site communication looks like; and drew parallels online.
Love the Slack integration, and would go as far as to say maybe it's best to keep it "Slack only" for now and focus on it being seamless with Slack (as far as the constraints of the API go).
The guys have some awesome tech in there for observing user behaviour, shaping the product accordingly.
Liked Sqwiggle, LOVE this. We are a "mixed team" (Windows/Mac). So far our Mac folks are all using Speak and really loving it. Any clue how long until our Windows friends can join us? I'd really love to replace /hangout 😁
