Cute idea, congrats on the launch! Based on your experience, what kind of teams have been using it so far? Sounds to me that it may not be everyone's cup of tea - which is not at all a bad thing in terms of finding the right niche for the product.
Dayton Mills
@dr_dani Thanks Daniel! It was *really* hard to hit the nail on the head at first. We're now finding a lot of adoption on engineering teams and product teams. These are teams at FAANG companies and even more "traditional" ones like McDonalds, Kraft, and Ford!

I love this so much! I've seen several virtual work space apps so far, but this one seems most seamlessly working and definitely the cutest ๐Ÿ˜. The demo idea is awesome too!
Dayton Mills
@andrew_cho Thanks Younghwi!!!

Hey Product Hunt! ๐Ÿ‘‹ @kaimicahmills and I are THRILLED to share what we have been working on for the past year. Today is our 1 year anniversary and we are coming out of beta! In branch your audio is spatial. You can only hear and be heard by people you're nearby. This lets you walk in and out of conversations and brings back serendipitous interactions, spontaneous conversations and hallway bump-ins. More than 1000 remote teams have used branch during our beta to fight zoom fatigue and build a better remote culture. - Share your voice, video, screen, and whiteboards. - Earn XP and rewards as recognition for completing tasks from your peers. - Use your rewards to customize your branch with over 1200 assets. - Play a plethora of native games like pool, poker, zombies and more! There's so much more to come! We're shipping new things every week, and would love to help your team work and play better remotely. I welcome all of your feedback!

Branch โ€“ the team and the product โ€“ are exceptional; @daytonmills, @kaimicahmills, and the team have an unrelenting desire to reach perfection and won't stop until they do. It's amazing to see how far they've come in such a short period of time. Can't recommend it highly enough!
Dayton Mills
@kaimicahmills @ani_pai Wow, Thank you Anirudh!!

This is fantastic. As a fully remote of 8, some of them actually never met each other - now we can do a remote office for ourselves. And it will be the same weird situation when someone goes into the common kitchen, waits for a while, then leaves without saying a word.

Who are these sad grey dudes in the conference room (upper left)?

So glad to see Branch launching! I've been following along with their basically daily updates in the beta and it's been a fun ride. Dayton put together an amazing team and a virtual office experience every company needs.

Big fan of these virtualized workspaces that feel more "human". Congrats!
Dayton Mills
@bogdan_ionita Thanks Bogdan!
Mateusz Zarรณd
Great! Are you able to make video meetings or just regular chats?
Kai Micah Mills
@mateusz_zarod1 Yes! - you can turn on your webcam and also share your screen :-)

We have been using this for almost two weeks. I dropped my team into it with no warning to see how they reacted. They have used it constantly every day since. Open product roadmaps and feature feedback is so nice to know what is coming and what are the priorities of the future.
Dom
Well done folks! Will try to get some co-working sessions in with this :)
Dayton Mills
@dqmonn1 Thanks Dom! Look forward to seeing you around
