NextPage recreates spontaneous meetings and makes it possible to:
👯♂️ Meet your friends/colleagues if you are on the same webpage or nearby. For example, you come to ProductHunt to check out the new products. Your colleague is also on PH. You can start the chat right here without leaving the page. Or just wave to each other to show interest and friendliness like in the good old offline times.
💬 Check other people's reactions. You read an article on Hackernoon. And see that your colleague also read it, and liked it. That's awesome — you just found out an icebreaker for your next chat! There are so many opportunities to discover common interests and hobbies.

Hi Product Hunt! 🖐
We've been waiting for this day for months now — so I'm feeling kinda nervous and also super excited 😂 The launch of NextPage is a touching moment for me. I'm proud of the work we did, creating it, and also can't wait to use it myself ❤️✨
Do you remember all these moments when you were walking through the street, tired and unhappy, and suddenly met a classmate walking by? Or, trying to freshen up your mind by going to the coffee machine and starting small talk with your coworkers? ☕️ For me, these spontaneous meetings brought a lot of joy. I'm not really into planning meetings — when you have so much work to do it is nearly impossible — but moments like these can could help you to come up with a new idea. And to start something too — we've started a running club at work, as it was created by chance (I've never thought before that someone could be interested in it).
When you are working remotely it is nearly impossible to know ANYTHING about a new coworker. It would be weird to ask a bunch of questions about his or her hobbies, favorite wine, loved sports etc. I've tried it several times and the result was depressing. We've worked together — it's true. But have we collaborated properly? Was there any proper connection or trust between us? No. 🤷♀️
Now we all have a chance to meet old friends spontaneously all the time. Even when working online. To share interests, to start discussions! 😍 In my opinion, it's awesome! What do you think?
Hello ProductHunt,
Excited to be here today. Let me briefly explain the story behind NextPage ❤️
It all started back in May when everyone including our team was on lockdown. Despite the fact that I successfully escaped the city and was able to freely walk around the village, my creativity level was at an all-time low. I was trying to figure out the reason why this was happening to me.
Okay — high-stress levels because of the pandemic had a huge impact on my condition, but it was not the only reason. I tried to remember what was different in my remote life from my office routine: in between focused tasks, I often just walked around the office, approached my colleagues, asked how they were doing and what they were working on. All these small talks often gave me a lot of energy, motivation, and new ideas. Moreover, it was during such spontaneous conversations that we found something in common with colleagues: for example, we both love to play Dota 2 or that we had just started watching the same TV-series.
While on lockdown I spent half of my day on Zoom-calls. And another half — chatting in Slack and Telegram. And guess what? I lost those small talks completely. And my team also discovered this problem themselves.
We started to explore the field and quickly found out that we were not the only ones facing such a problem. NYTimes, WSJ, FinancialTimes, and others wrote about the lack of spontaneous social interactions on remote. Our friends from tech companies also confirmed that some pieces of the communications puzzle were lost when moving to total online.
That's how the idea of NextPage was born 😊
We want to believe, that we can help remote teams to find more in common, start a friendship, and generally feel less lonely and happier 😍
p.s. special thanks to @danicgross for his post "Communication in World 2.0" and @jamescurrier for "The Next Social Era is Here" (posted on NFX) - you gave us additional motivation to create the product 💪

Looks good. Great job everyone!
One thing to note though seems like you are missing Slack integration. Is it something you're planning to introduce? I don't really want to create any more channels. All my channels are already in Slack
@smartnik Thank you for the idea 😉 I think you are right - we'll try to add this feature to our product plan for the near future))

Hi everyone! Have tried next page demo version for my employees and it worked perfectly! Since the remote mode I felt that the mood of the team is going down so we tried the product since guys were our Comunity neighbors and it worked perfectly. Fun way to make online small talks for the team members ♥️
@hrishikesh1990 Oh, thank you! It was a challenge for us, really, but we are very happy with a result too ❤️✨
