Hey Product Hunt! I'm Paweł, the maker behind flat.social, a spatial video meeting app where you create your own permanent, interactive space for your remote team, school or community. This is the second version of the app, rebuilt from scratch but with the same values as the first one: bringing fun, meaningful connections and smiles into video conferencing. So, what's inside? 🔊 Spatial audio and video: simply walk up to someone to hear and see them. When you want to end the conversation, just walk away (or fly away on balloons if you want a more dramatic exit). 🏄 Activities that make people smile: surfing, football, an arena shooter, pink scooters and much more. We went all in on these. You can literally witness a robot rebellion, then hop on a helicopter to catch a live piano concert your friend is playing on the other side of the map. 🏗️ Build your own world: furnish your space yourself, from sofas, rugs and whiteboards to cars, terrains and mini-games, so it actually feels like yours. 🎥 Classic video conferencing: not every meeting needs a trampoline. Some need to be organised, so you can host them in serious conference rooms with built-in formats for standups, Q&As and presentations. 📝 Real-time collaboration: both spatial rooms and conference rooms come with a real-time whiteboard where you can drop sticky notes or sketch out your next great idea for world domination. 🌐 The practical bits: everything runs in the browser, there is nothing to install, and guests can join with just a name if you wish. It's free for up to 5 people. 👉 Try it right now, no signup needed: https://app.flat.social/f/demo-flat Would love to hear what you think!

the no-download, join-with-just-a-name part actually matters more than it sounds - the biggest friction with every other virtual office tool I've tried is getting a remote team to install yet another client just for one team social. spatial audio in the browser worked better than expected, walking up to a cluster of people and having their voices actually get louder felt natural almost immediately.

it's genuinely fun for a one-off social, but that's also the risk - the mini games are distracting enough that a team could end up spending the whole hour playing football instead of actually talking to each other. some kind of nudge back toward conversation after a game ends would help it stay a social tool rather than turn into just a game night.

Gather has more of a pixel-art game aesthetic and has been around longer, but flat.social's fully 3D spaces and mini games felt more like an actual hangout than a meeting tool wearing a costume, which is what we wanted for a social rather than a standup.

Thanks for the review! Just to reply on the mini-games topic - they're only there if you want them. Each virtual space is completely customisable so as a host you can choose whether you want to include them or not.
