Talkshow - Discussion board for your team with mini video clips

Hi Hunters! Today I'm launching Talkshow. It's sort of like a reddit forum for your team, but with video clips. I believe remote work is the future, but there are definitely some challenges to overcome. I've spent the last 3 years working with teams distributed globally and communication was often a problem. Real time solutions didn't really work for us as everyone's schedule was so different, but at the same time I believe strongly that it's a positive thing to see your coworker's face and hear their voice regularly. So I built Talkshow as a solution to that. It works like a dicussion forum so you can have asynchronous conversations at your own pace, but you can also attach a video clip of yourself to any conversation / reply. My simple hypothesis is that teams who see and hear each other more frequently will have more fun working, have better communication and build stronger working relationships!

Just tried it out. Looks great! At first, I didn't understand how is it different from a slack channel but after trying it out, it does "humanise the interaction"

This is dope, have you connected with the Running Remote Conference? I think this is super helpful for remote teams. Stoked to explore.

Since you focus on videos so much you should make one for yourself that demonstrates the use case of the product, because I don't want to signup to see how it works. Plus my two questions are : 1. What external features are you adding to make this smoother? Just the basic ability to communicate via video is possible literally everywhere? 2. What are some features that might make me ditch current communication tools and switch here apart from just the core video functionality? Cheers, Keep making -Yash

Interesting idea! I'm guessing some teams are already using Loom + Slack to achieve what Talkshow is offering, what would be the main value proposition of Talkshow against this kind of set-up ?

This reminds me of a product @ddebow and team worked on last year. What use cases are you imagining, @yongfook?

Since I started to use WhatsApp video calls with my team, our productivity is growing up. I think this is a great solution if you work in different time zones, like Europe- US

@yongfook Talkshow looks really interesting, grab my upvote! I would also like to offer you to publish an interview about Talkshow at StartupRadius. Please get back to me at paul@startupradius.com if interested!

this is great! I'm gonna use it for clients to get the strategy clear and planning. (for now the dev team is only me).

nice

Ray dalio might like this

Love the idea. There is a big need for asynchronous conversations in remote teams. Will try it. Is the recording/ edit of the video done through talkshow or 3rd party app and then uploaded into talkshow?

This is really nice!

nice one!

It is actually very cool! I am pretty much consider using it for my team. Would be great if you could add more features like conferences or desktop sharing ability, so it would be easier to work live!

I am trying this as an alternative communication platform for my team!

Pros:

Very simple and user friendly product!

Cons:

Would be great to add more features!

Without actually signing up I have no clue what this does by looking at the landing page. Maybe a video demo might help?

Great job!

Looking for a better way to communicate across a small team

Cons:

Just needs more to it
