The good people of Producthunt ❀️ I'm Manas, the Founder of Roundup πŸ‘‹ Before I talk about what we have built, I want to take a moment to first thank @kevin for believing in us and hunting us .✌️ I also want to give a shout-out to my amazing team (@sushant_rahul, @richa_garg, @jitesh_kriplani1) for working tirelessly to make Roundup possible. You guys are awesome. πŸ™Œ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why did we start Roundup? After spending many years building products & scaling teams, I realised that we often spend an annoying amount of time doing discussions synchronously. It not only causes stress & burnout in the team but also reduce their overall throughput. Think about it, every time we call a meeting or ping someone on slack β€” we are effectively asking them to take a break from what they were doing. According to many reports, each distraction leads to a loss of 23 minutes before you can get back to your deep-work state But is every discussion time-sensitive and requires interrupting others? No, right? That's why we created an Asynchronous Communication tool where Discussions can happen in a written & meaningful manner without causing distractions. πŸ’ͺ If I have to oversimplify our solution, then "Roundup is like Reddit for your Company ✌️". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How does Roundup work? πŸ“– You can create a discussion forum for a specific project, team, or any other group you want to bring together. ✍️ When you have something to discuss, share, or ask, you can create a new post on the relevant discussion forum. πŸ‘―β€β™‚οΈ All members who are following this forum will be able to see your post on their newsfeed. πŸ’¬ Anyone can participate in the discussion by leaving replies. They can also upvote posts that they find helpful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefits of Roundup πŸ“š Discussions get documented in well-organised threads and don't get buried under casual chit-chat. Roundup provides a unique link for each conversation, which can be useful for reference or review later on. Discussions also have a clear title and can be tagged to their relevant context. Which makes it easily filter them out to find what you are looking for. ⏱ Discussions happen asynchronously and don't cause interruptions and distractions. You can come in at your own convenient time and contribute to ongoing discussions. This can lead to more thought-out and well-reasoned responses, as compared to real-time communication methods where responses are expected to be immediate. 😌 Discussions are threaded and easy to follow Roundup makes it easy for all participants to follow the ongoing conversation and build upon the ideas that have already been shared. πŸ‘« Discussions are done in public, which benefits everyone on the team. Next time when someone asks you the same question, you can point them to the earlier discussion. Unlike DMs and ad-hoc catchups where conversations get easily lost. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We believe that stress & burnout is a growing problem in our modern workplace and poor communication habits have a lot to do with it. That's why we have spent many nights and weekends building Roundup. It is our belief that it will help you create a more relaxed and productive work culture. We are also starting a Free Beta program for our early adopters with this launch. At this stage, we are just looking for "genuine feedback" to help us evolve the product and make your work discussions delightful. When we do start to monetise Roundup, we will also come up with special discounts for those who subscribe to our Beta. So try out Roundup with your team and tell us what you think about it. πŸ˜‡ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you wish to follow our journey you can also join our Telegram community: https://t.me/+UQ7bDtzlyaphNGRl
Richa Garg
Hello all, my name is Richa and I am the creative head behind Roundup ✌️. Roundup is a fresh approach to team communication tools that is 100% asynchronous, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. I believe you'll find it truly remarkable. πŸ˜‡ I would appreciate any feedback you have on the product design. If there is anything that can be improved, please let me know and we will make sure to address it.
Sushant kumar
Hello everyone, my name is Sushant and I am the founding engineer of Roundup. Our team has put in a great deal of effort to develop the initial version of our product. I am thrilled to present it to all of you and hope you will give it a try. We greatly value feedback, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions you may have.
Jitesh Kriplani
Hey guys, I'm Jitesh and I'm super happy to present Roundup to you all. As an engineer, I have often found myself repeating the same answers over Slack DMs and ad-hoc meetings to junior engineers who need help. These conversations are almost never documented. But most of the time people have the same questions. That's why I'm building Roundup. Roundup is just like Reddit, but for your team. With this tool, you can organise all your unstructured discussions. So next time when you have someone asking you the same question, you can point them to the corresponding thread. It will help you save yourself from daily distractions and focus on doing the work that really matters. Do take it for a spin with your team, and tell us how it goes.

πŸ’‘ Bright idea
Hey, this looks awesome! Congrats on the launch! I am wondering if you guys are planning to add API services. I am looking for solutions to quickly integrate a discussion feature for a community-based product.
Manas Sharma
@tony_dang2 That's very good input. Thanks for sharing it here. It is one of our major focuses this year. We are looking to do 2 things: (1) β€” Making discussion forums embeddable widgets. Which can be plugged into your online communities, they can be used for having a support forum, etc. (2) β€” Exposing the APIs to create posts. This will create a platform for building apps on top of our product. Like you could have daily standups, drive culture with fun questions, etc.
