🎉🎉🎉 First of all, thank you so much @kevin for hunting our product. It was a huge pleasure for our team to get to know you and discuss current problems we are trying to solve regarding online collaboration. Thanks again for all the meaningful advices! Hi Product Hunters! Won here, BD Manager at Strum. We are super excited to introduce you a Lightweight Audio Whiteboarding Web-App 'Strum', designed specifically for remote startups. Being an early stage remote startup team ourselves, we meet at least twice a day online to discuss daily plans and share works in progress. Using traditional meeting solutions, we often encounter difficulty communicating with each other, since we have to share every screenshot, file, and any other digital outcome to be discussed, followed by a verbal explanation. To prevent time being wasted on meetings and to promote accurate delivery of information, we started building our own product, Strum. Strum is a communication tool for jobs that require frequent file exchanges and discussions. We are developing online, remote solution for interactive reviews, that allow for different file formats such as .png, .pdf, .docx, ppt, and more. HOW TO USE STRUM 1) Create a room and invite people 2) Drag and Drop files 3) Visualize them in our unbounded canvas 4) Verbally discuss while using annotation tools WHY STRUM? 🔊 Direct VOICE Connection 🤩 Lightweight ☀️ No Download Necessary 🚀 Fast Rendering Speed Our goal is to eliminate the following steps: 1) downloading files, 2) active commenting, 3) resending multiple revisions, and 4) setting up a realtime video meeting to prevent confusion – just to name a few solutions that we strive to provide. We reason that a simple comment, either written or verbal, would not be an adequate way to make accurate and efficient communication with remote team members. Hope you enjoy using our product, and looking forward to your feedbacks and comments that can help us improve! Cheers!

Just checked it out, love the idea that I can literally push all my pdfs into a whiteboard and start going over it without the need to share my screen and creating a feedback note through other applications "IN" a different monitor. I know you guys marketed yourself as a no video tool, but what if we sometimes need it to go over it with an audience or a client that wants to communicate via webcam? Furthermore, would love to see some guidance when we first land on the meeting room page. I struggled with navigating where to go except for a search bar with new floating on the screen. Thanks!

@sean_kyu_won_kim Thanks a lot for your support and thoughtful comment Sean! In fact, we've actually developed a video meeting feature while building our Web RTC. We commented out the code in order to validate our hypothesis that face to face meeting is not as important to enhance speed and accuracy of online communication. We will definitely restore the feature if more users like yourself feel it's necessary to improve our usability. We will definitely try our best to make our dashboard more intuitive! I will let you know as soon as we make revisions and hope we could deliver better user experience when we launch Strum2.0 later this year!

This is so cool 'cause I don't need to share my monitor like the other tools, sharing all files very easily and lively. It's difficult to make sth simple and easy to use at the same time, but this is it! Looking forward to next update!

@pattyjburns Hey Patrick. Glad you liked it! Although we were initially targeting remote startup teams, we discovered that there are considerable demands for our product within educational institutions and outsourcing platforms as well. We are still gathering more data to validate our core user group!

@gknd95 Thanks Gavin for your support and we definitely feel the same way! Although sharing each others emotion through webcam might be necessary for some meetings, I believe optimizing on sharing files and any digital work outcome is a key to an accurate and efficient team collaboration.
