@kpoonvancouver Yay that's awesome! I think it is when people open a tool in the session the first time (poll, Miro board, Flashcard). Also we're launching something new so don't forget to support! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Kenneth Poon @kpoonvancouver

@jakob_knutzen1 Sounds good!

Hi Jakob 👋🏽 From your perspective, what has been the biggest pros and cons of running a fully remote startup compared to a traditional in-office setup?

Butter Scenes

@kwadwoadu GREAT question! Biggest pro: Being able to recruit amazing talent from anywhere Biggest con: Not being together and feeling the startup energy and love ever day! Also don't forget to support https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Launching soon!

@kwadwoadu @jakob_knutzen1 curious how you navigate that from a contractor / employee perspective / how you keep things standardized given the multitude of different cultures / potentially nations with various holidays etc? Typically we'd all observe one calendar (US CAD etc.) - Curious how ya'll navigate that.

@dzaitzow Our team can choose to follow either the Danish calendar or their local one. We’re a small team, so we just coordinate month by month or week by week if anyone needs time off—whether it’s for personal matters, public holidays, etc.

Hey Jakob! Curious to know—how big of a role does churn play in your growth strategy? Do you feel confident you’ve nailed down the top churn drivers in your product or are you still in discovery mode when it comes to reducing them? What’s been the biggest eye-opener for you so far?

Butter Scenes

@jmarten Churn is everything. If you don't nail how to fix churn, you'll just be pouring water into a leaking bucket. For Scenes, we haven't yet identified the biggest churn driver - still early days!

Hi Jakob, congrats on Scenes—sounds super interesting! Any launch tips as a Product Hunt veteran? How are you preparing for the launch this time around?

Butter Scenes

@bensyverson Ahhh, good question! A lot of great tips out there, but what we're doing this time around is making a full event! https://www.seeninscenes.butter.us/ This gives time to drive support to PH plus makes a big splash!! Also don't forget to support https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Choi Yong Suk @choi_yong_suk

Hey Jakob! What's your contrarian take on AI in virtual workshops that most founders are getting wrong? 🚀

Butter Scenes

@choi_yong_suk Not sure if contrarian, but I think AI can go super far in facilitating workshops. But the limit is often in the human touch - e.g. knowing who needs to speak and when, plus driving forward conversation

Enzo Zeng @enzo_zeng

Love the product video! It strikes me that when I was a student at Columbia, one of my classmate was actually using Butter. Among all the feature, which one you think is the best?

Thank you for offering to answer questions! I'm looking to engage more actively on product hunt, and I would love some guidance on building karma and increasing my visibility here. What are some strategies or best practices you recommend for increasing karma? Also, how can I make my product hunt launch more visible and attract greater engagement?

Hi Jacob, I'm very curious how did you come to the idea of Butter and how did you know if its going to succeed or no? Thank you for your answer :)

@codebymedu We were facilitating workshops ourselves during Covid, and it was just horrible to do online. We wantedd to create a better way!
