Hey makers! A few months ago, we launched an iOS app called “More - Adventure Any Time.” You could find something to do and people to do it with whenever you felt like it. In 30 minutes, you could go from doing nothing at all to having a new experience with new people in real life. Then came COVID-19. And our product was only live in New York City. Spontaneous IRL meetups and...

Currently, I'm trying something I call the Daily Sitdown. It's like the daily standup meeting, but it's close to the end of the day. It really helps people clarify, in their minds, how productive they were that day. I find that it helps me to be mindful about what I'm working on, and it lets the rest of my team know they can count on each other to deliver.

Have you tried Smartsheet?

I use Truebill and it works quite well for me.

Hey everyone! we're about to launch More - Adventure Any Time on Product Hunt. I'd love for you guys to try it out while it's still in beta. More is for creating impromptu get-togethers with new people to do new activities. It's kinda like Bizarro Instagram - except everything you see, you can do, and everyone you see, you can meet. Choose from curated activities or create your own, and other...

Control my Apple TV. Even better, control my entire TV experience: Turn TV on/off, turn volume up/down, play/pause.

Airtable is great. I’ve tried so many different apps and services, but I keep coming back to Airtable. It’s slightly less intuitive than something like Asana or Trello, but it’s more customizable. Their help videos are great, too.

One of the biggest things we miss when going from IRL to remote is the spontaneous, unplanned interactions. Unfortunately, most people seem to think unplanned = waste. However, most of the research indicates that impromptu, unstructured interaction spurs creativity. Of course, premeditatedly clicking on a few buttons to seek out, form and join a group isn’t exactly spontaneous. How does Knit...

This seems clever!

I tried this out quickly — hats off for the simplicity and openness of the product. Being able to go from here to chatting in like 5 seconds is super cool. But I’m curious: what about the product recreates the cocktail party effect? Maybe I’m missing something! Very cool.

Do you have any tips on how to run the best tests? I just did a trial purchase of 10 testers, but I don’t know if I did a good enough job at explaining the steps.

@staythefuckinsidegame I just added this to the COVID-19 Survival Kit for the Mind collection. Great job! https://www.producthunt.com/@rossbaltimore/collections/covid-19-survival-kit-for-the-mind

@dansodergren what do you mean by remote "analysising"?

For the people who responded "Yes, a lot more!", can you share a little more about your situation before+now? I'd love to learn what is making it so 🥳!!

I'm easily thrown off my game, but I can reorient and refocus easily, too. In a way, that's nice to know.
