A great concept, Michael & team! The mix of focus tools with a social element is super smart!

Hey Steven! This sounds awesome. I'm always distracted at home, so having a community around focus is such a neat idea. Love that it's built for remote workers like me! Excited to see where this goes. Good luck with the launch!

Hey Steven, I'm wondering how you maintain a balance between fostering community and avoiding distractions during focused work sessions? Do you have plans to integrate with popular project management tools to help users track their productivity? Congrats on the launch!
Steven Puri
@kyrylosilin Hey, Kyrylo - Yes, making sure that balance is correct is a regular and ongoing job. And yes, we do integrate with Asana, Linear, etc. Love to hear your thoughts. - Steven

Great app for focusing and getting work done with a nice community. Nothing works as well as Sukha for me to get into deep flow states, time and time again.

Great video - I love the "coffee shop" analogy and all the thoughtful productivity features, like phone lock! Curious: What's the refresh rate on coworking videos - is it a frame every 3-5 seconds? What kind of feedback have you gotten on that? It reminds me of @sqwiggle cc @tommoor
Steven Puri
@sqwiggle @tommoor @rajiv_ayyangar Hey, Rajiv - Thanks for asking. We experimented with a lot of refresh rates (and even live video) to tune this. We settled on a 10-second refresh rate which gave the warm feeling of "presence of your team" but very little "distraction of wanting to watch a live feed." Once we arrived there (with a lot of vocal feedback from members :), our UI has settled nicely. And let me say the obvious: all of these products are works-in-progress and I'll know we'll continue to tune and iterate with our community as we...and the world...evolves.

Congratulations with your launch Steven and Sukha Team. I’ve enjoyed our in-depth brainstorm sessions in the past together with Michael. And now you’ve all come so far. Happiness starts from within and now it’s time to bring the Sukha genie out of the bottle. I-VAL-U 🙏🏽

Congrats on the launch! The integration of productivity features with the concept of social facilitation is a brilliant way to boost motivation and performance. I’m genuinely impressed by how you've combined focus tools with a community-driven approach. Kudos to your team for creating such a thoughtful and impactful tool!

Saw this app through an ad, gotta say I struggle to see how co-working online beats the distractions at home, any plans on adding features to make it feel more like an actual office environment?
Steven Puri
@carceolicious Hey, Sam - I think the proof is in the pudding. No amount of marketing prose that I wrote can supplant the feeling you will get. If you really want your answer, I'd suggest that you choose a task that will take you 30+ minutes and dive into Sukha to get it done. The feeling when you look up at the end is magical. And also - to test this for veracity...is completely free. Yep. I look forward to your astute analysis! - Steven
