Interesting concept of recording short videos in lieu of interday interruptions or standups. Curious what would happen if they partnered with clark.ai (or something similar) to provide meeting notes as well.
@micah That sounds interesting!
We currently use speech recognition in Catch to provide automatic transcripts during playback because you don't always have audio on.

Catch is awesome. Love how frictionless it is and how it facilitates hi-fidelity conversation.
You can record a video much faster than you can type - especially with all the spelling mistakes I make on mobile (!%@# auto-correct!). And.. we recently had a key member of the team move down to SF. Both the frequency and quality of communication fell right off a cliff. Seeing his updates on Catch for the first time brought back that feeling of in person conversations in hi-fi.
@austintam Thanks Austin. That's great to hear! We put much effort into making the video creation as frictionless as possible. I'm sure there's even more we can do so keep sending us the awesome feedback.
At first I confused stories with user stories but now I get that it's like snap chat for teams. Very cool! Any plans to integrate with Slack? That's pretty much where my team lives.
@jeremybailey Correct. You can use "Sign in with Slack" in Catch. We'll group your team together as a Catch team. Stories can be shared as a link to any slack channel or any app.
We have a Slack App on the back burner until we nail the right workflow. We should chat about it!

Great to see this idea come alive. Congrats to the team. Asynchronous standups are absolutely better for some workplaces. But I have seen firsthand how running them in slack is totally culture killing. You lose the person you are working with! Stories seems like a great way to address that. Will be interested to see where you take it from here. What other workplace communication could run through this platform?
@sonofsarah Thanks Isaac. We have a bunch of ideas but I'd love to hear some answers from other product hunters to your questions "What other workplace communication could run through this platform?"
