Hey folks! I'll keep this short. Check out the website for more details: https://flowy.live We used to shuffle letters; now we shuffle endless notifications, threads, meetings, apps - just to say a few words to our team. Flowy is a minimalist approach to commz (the root of most problems). The keypad.v1 is *not* for everyone. It is a completely new philosophy for how humans communicate based on our world-view & insights. You likely do not qualify for the preview kit, but be sure to hit "Get updates" on our site to subscribe. Have feedback? Would love to hear it below.

Why the ads is so serious? Just add fun to it. Hardware devices are one of the least likely to be successful products according to statistics. Just add to your ads 2 people in the office who are using your device and sending fart sounds to each other. So, 70% of the time they are using it for work and 30% of the time for fun. Because office or the work must be fun.

@dennisbabych Not going to lie, I like this idea :) We'll likely do another run of asset creation next year. This was just our first pass with the resources that we had.

This would be ideal for my startup, we have 20+ ft and freelance team members, but looks like you're brown nosing the american market, perhaps in hope of winning a visa or something so we wont consider this product. Execution 2/10

@robin_glumberg_kidd This is a good point. We're actually in California, and we have been trying to see how to help international teams; I've seen in countries like Colombia and India how much of a pain it is to use async text tools. This is why many in these countries use WhatsApp voice notes, so you're definitely right. Would be happy to chat if you want to pilot our product for an international team use case.

@talksik Yes. I'm a big Alan Watts fan. The profoundness of it all is clear and powerful just as he often would express his ideas. 😸 "Every intelligent individual wants to know what makes him tick, and yet is at once fascinated and frustrated by the fact that oneself is the most difficult of all things to know" - Alan Watts

Hey Arjun, A minimalist, voice-first approach could really help in cutting down the noise. Can you share more about how the keypad.v1 works and what makes it different from traditional communication tools? Also, how do you envision teams adapting to this new philosophy of communication? Looking forward to seeing more updates!

@kyrylosilin Yep sure! What we are really delivering is a new protocol. It blends async + sync and introduces a lightweight mechanism to converse. To give you a picture, we want to emulate the lightness and beauty of turning your head to your right and talking to you Annie, your designer, and then look across the hall the next second and say something quick to Jordan and Max. We will be sending raw demo videos later this year to those that hit "Get updates" on our website (we find that even with explanation of "how it works", nothing will beat a demo because of how new the paradigm is).

Why is hardware required for this application? Is a software solution not much better?

@sgroiga Philosophically, building on current platforms all the way up the stack limit the solution set. In fact, I have built flowy software versions (10+ versions of desktop, web, mobile) in a similar problem space. They always end up restricting how you think. This is why Slack looks like WhatsApp. With hardware, we will be able to do many things such as add gestures & more. Consider why streamers use stream decks, why readers use Kindles, and why gamers use high-performance, lightweight computer mice. We think commz is the most vital part of every business and should not mix/be contaminated with computing tools. In other words, commz with your team should not just be another tab on your computer.

After watching the video on YouTube, I still didn't understand what the point of this device was and why I should purchase them for my company. Why can't I use the software solution?
