Talkshow

Hi Hunters! Today I'm launching Talkshow. It's sort of like a reddit forum for your team, but with video clips. I believe remote work is the future, but there are definitely some challenges to overcome. I've spent the last 3 years working with teams distributed globally and communication was often a problem. Real time solutions didn't really work for us as everyone's schedule was so different, but at the same time I believe strongly that it's a positive thing to see your coworker's face and hear their voice regularly. So I built Talkshow as a solution to that. It works like a dicussion forum so you can have asynchronous conversations at your own pace, but you can also attach a video clip of yourself to any conversation / reply. My simple hypothesis is that teams who see and hear each other more frequently will have more fun working, have better communication and build stronger working relationships!

Just tried it out. Looks great! At first, I didn't understand how is it different from a slack channel but after trying it out, it does "humanise the interaction"

This is dope, have you connected with the Running Remote Conference? I think this is super helpful for remote teams. Stoked to explore.

Since you focus on videos so much you should make one for yourself that demonstrates the use case of the product, because I don't want to signup to see how it works. Plus my two questions are : 1. What external features are you adding to make this smoother? Just the basic ability to communicate via video is possible literally everywhere? 2. What are some features that might make me ditch current communication tools and switch here apart from just the core video functionality? Cheers, Keep making -Yash

Interesting idea! I'm guessing some teams are already using Loom + Slack to achieve what Talkshow is offering, what would be the main value proposition of Talkshow against this kind of set-up ?

This reminds me of a product @ddebow and team worked on last year. What use cases are you imagining, @yongfook?

Since I started to use WhatsApp video calls with my team, our productivity is growing up. I think this is a great solution if you work in different time zones, like Europe- US
