ZipMessage

👋 Hey Product Hunt :) I started ZipMessage to replace unnecessary live meetings with asynchronous video messaging. Our early customers love that it’s just as easy to send a ZipMessage as it is to receive one back from a customer, a teammate, a new hire, etc. ⛔ The problem Too many Zoom calls! We want to communicate asynchronously but current tools have too much friction or lack clarity. — Messages are scattered across too many 1-way links flying around. — Too much friction to ask customers and others to respond on video. — Live meetings put people on the spot. Since we’re remote, we should use async to our advantage. We want space to respond with our best, fully-baked ideas! ✅ The solution Our early customers switched to ZipMessage as their go-to async video messaging tool. Here’s what they love most: — Threaded conversations—with video, voice, screen, and text messages—flowing together on a single, shareable page. — Easy for anyone to respond by recording into the browser. Great for messaging with customers, clients, freelancers and others! — Personalized links can be shared just like a calendar link—but async! — Embed video intake forms on your own website. Plus: Transcripts, message templates, intake pages, Slack integration, Zapier integration, API and more... 🐶 I’m hungry for your feedback!

Finally, a way to hold productive conversations without figuring out time zones, over-planning meetings or ignoring the new circumstances we're working in. Excellent work, Brian! I hope ZipMessage gets all the hype it deserves!

Love this product. We use it in the sales process and for internal communication. It's great to watch Brian build in public, which allows us to see how quickly and thoughtfully features are built out.

Big fan of Zipmessage! Asynchronous video communication is a great way to reduce the time spent in meetings and trying to schedule them across time-zones. Here are some examples of meetings we have replaced with async communication: - status updates - welcoming new team members - company announcements I'm enjoying following along as Brian builds in public.

According to my annual RescueTime report, I have spent over 1600 hours on Slack, Zoom, and on-site meetings in 2021. Naturally, I'm doing everything in my power to coach and convert peers, vendors, colleagues and clients to an async communication protocol that boosts creativity and allows flexibility in working hours or "being in the zone". As a recent paid ZipMessage customer, I'm pretty excited about the broad support of any communication protocols - camera, screen share, audio, text, attachments. Conversations resemble separate feeds in the form of threaded discussions. It's easy to respond on the go and notifications are bullet proof. I'm even contemplating replacing my contact form with a ZipMessage widget! Wish you all the best guys and excited for the coming updates.

I absolutely love this product. Just as an example. I send initial introductions which result in async conversations that get results. The automatic generation of a text version of your video or voice is awesome. And, only yesterday, a vendor sent me an overview of ROI on a sponsorship on his podcast platform with a detailed overview of viewing figures, suite stats and a persuasive sales pitch, needless to say, I sponsored the podcast and the vendor can now produce the podcast as he wants - fully financed. Zip Message is a no brainer for busy freelancers, agencies and clients that need to have asyn conversations across the globe. I Love it!

Looks interesting, all the best!
