Tried this out for our previous "All Faces" meeting, and our team loved it! Voting, etc. Good fun. Haven't tried it for workshops though!
Jakob Knutzen
@srikrishnang oooh man, that's cool to hear! You gotta try it for workshops too - that's when it really shines!
Cheska Teresa
@srikrishnang Woohoo, thanks a bunch man! Looking forward to hearing what you think after you've done workshops on it. 😊

I found Butter via a Slack workspace in June 2020, and I immediately saw the promise. Spoke to its co-founder Chris and exchanged a few emails. They are always a little more than what you would expect in a new product in this categoryβ€”adding new delightful utilities with tonnes of energy. :) Being a design and product consultant, I love their attention to details, and the velocity of their decisions making sense in the product itself. I have referred it to a few of my friends in UX and product for hosting programs and workshops and I am looking forward to see how it scales.
Jakob Knutzen
@vingar you've almost literally been following us since Day 0 - your support is so so appreciated man!!! Really love the love 😊
Cheska Teresa
@vingar You've been awesome at helping us spread the love, Vinish! Here's to getting more of your feedback too -- it's really helpful for us in building this!
Andreas Jarbol
What a great launch on product hunt! Huge shoutout to the team. I must say I absolutely adore the branding and the way the integrations are leveraged def. sets it up to be a game changer. Try it, and see for yourself! Keep up the awesome work! 🧈
Jakob Knutzen
@ajarbol thanks SO SO much! This means so much coming from you! Really love how you and your team has been using Butter and coming with feedback!
Ty Walrod
Butter is an incredibly simple yet powerful tool for hosting virtual workshops. We're using Butter at On Deck Scale and we love it. It's fun, intuitive, and fast, and it includes the tools needed to collaborate that zoom does not. Good luck to this team!
Jakob Knutzen
@tywalrod so amazing to hear, and it's been a pleasure to be part of On Deck Scale as well! Really glad that you guys found it useful and picked it up!
Aidan Fitzpatrick
Great to see Butter launching here. I've used it for a few sessions and it's been great. Way to go, @jakob_knutzen1 and team! ✌️
Jakob Knutzen
@afit thanks so much for the comment! Really glad to hear you like it - excited to use Butter with Camo in the future!

I just spent like 20 minutes in a session with @chrismessina on butter and fell immediately in love. What's not to love? The UI is simple but very very effective, including features that don't make it usually to the "first launch" iteration, like emoji reactions in chats, uploading gifs and videos, private notes. Soundboard and video reactions are awesome! Agenda management, times and polls are all amazing enhancements that folks will love in their workshops. This feels like it was thought out well and truly. Kudos guys, this is great!
Jakob Knutzen
@altryne man, those are really kind words! So glad you liked seeing it! I think @chrismessina also made the session extra awesome though πŸ˜‰

After working remotely for many years, I tend to be skeptical whenever I see another remote work tool. With that being said, Butter is one of the most interesting products I've seen in years. Zoom/Hangouts is fine if you are chatting with people externally, but many synchronous conversations (especially internally) could really be supercharged by a thin interactive layer on top that solves for key use cases, like meeting notes, sticking to an agenda, and being able to "pull" people up who have questions, comments, ideas. I'm going to use Butter for all our internal hangout/coworking meetings instead of Zoom. I also love the personality in the product....extremely well-done.
Jakob Knutzen
@lukethomas14 Thanks so so much - this means a lot coming from you! Looking forward to hearing how it all goes with Butter!
Cheska Teresa
@lukethomas14 Really appreciate you saying that, Luke -- makes us want to work even better at improving it! πŸ™‚ Looking forward to hearing your feedback after you've tried it out more.
Bogomil Shopov - Π‘ΠΎΠ³ΠΎ
How advanced is the whiteboard compared to Miro or Mural for example?
Jakob Knutzen
@bogomep @andybudd is spot on here! Also looking for more interesting integrations to add! Miro is working SUPER smooth 🧈
Andrea AmorΓ³s
@bogomep are there any specific integrations you would like to have in Butter, Bogomil? :)
Vlad Gidea
Great job! It's impressive that this runs in the browser and yet it still has so many cool features we could use. I think bringing a Miro board in the session is super smart, I used to jump between screens but that kinda breaks the participants attention.
Jakob Knutzen
@gidea thanks man! Yeah, the Miro board is really super helpful! Works like a charm 😊
Chris Messina
I'm superpumped about what Butter has built. We had our first call using the platform and at first it seemed like another browser-based video streaming tool... but then they gave me access to the facilitator tools and my mind melted down. This is some really special software β€” it's super fun to use and is specially-built for running highly productive online workshops. 🧈 Butter 🧈 me 🧈 up! 🧈
Cheska Teresa
@chrismessina We were definitely blown away by your reaction too! It was a #epic moment for us -- fun reactions and sounds included. πŸ˜‰ We really appreciate your support! P.S. We're also celebrating today with a full day of talks and workshops! πŸŽ‰ Here’s the full lineup for anyone who wants to drop in and join the party: http://workshops.butter.us/
Jakob Knutzen
@chrismessina yeah, your reaction in that first ButterMeeting was just AWESOME! We REALLY REALLY appreciate your support!
Amber Wilson
@chrismessina Your mind "melted down," huh? Would you venture to say your mind melted down ...like butter? πŸ˜‰ I wonder if that was the plan all along, haha! 🀣

@chrismessina @amber_kb_wilson πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜†

@chrismessina @amber_kb_wilson Pun queen, for sure! πŸ‘ΈπŸ™Œ

We're all 1 year into the "shitty workshop mess" of 11 calendar invites for a 3 hour session, of constantly sending new links back and forth, of people rejoining the wrong rooms and missing sessions. It's broken and it needs fixing. That's what Butter is. The new way to workshop. As someone who has ran workshops, as someone who attends them, I can safe Butter is just Much better than what you're currently doing. Give it a try.
Jakob Knutzen
@destraynor this is spot as to what we're trying to do! We're truly trying to make workshops much better than what is currently out there. And in the future - really change what workshops mean!
Andrea AmorΓ³s
@destraynor yes Des, could not have said it better! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Thanks a lot for your words! If you have more feedback, I would love to hear it! πŸ˜ƒ
Chris Holm-Hansen
"The new way to workshop" - love that! Thanks for all of your support @destraynor πŸ’―
Cheska Teresa
That's definitely our aim: be the new way to workshop! πŸ™ŒπŸš€ It's super humbling to hear this -- thank you so much for your support, @destraynor! πŸ’›
Andrew Brodsky
Sounds really cool. Online workshops almost always are so boring and it’s easy to get distracted. If this platform keeps the participants engaged you may have truly built the better mouse trap.
Jakob Knutzen
@andrewjb44 Indeed, Andrew! And that's exactly what we're building for! Keeping participants engaged and workshops energized!
Scott D. Meyer
Just finished my first session with Butter and it is as billed. The best practices of great facilitation are built in and easy to use. Highly recommend!
Jakob Knutzen
@mrscottmeyer thanks so much for the kind words - this is ABSOLUTELY amazing to hear!
Evan Walden
Huge fan of Jakob and the Butter product! Keep up the good work!
Jakob Knutzen
@itsevanwalden you're amazing man! Really appreciate that!
Uwe Horstmann
Honestly can't take any more soul-draining "workshops" on normal video conferencing software. Butter to the rescue, we all need this!
Jakob Knutzen
@uwehorstmann man, that is SO cool to hear! Doing what we can!!!
Konrad Waliszewski
great team and great product!
Nicki Friis
The smoothest on the market yet. Been trying tons of tools lately and honestly I prefer Butter not just for it's functionality and reliability but for it's personal design.
Jakob Knutzen
@nickifriisw Thanks so much man! We try out best πŸ€—
Chris Holm-Hansen
Awesome to have your support @nickifriisw!
Cheska Teresa
@nickifriisw Thanks a bunch for the support! πŸ™Œ

Butter is a delightfully refreshing take on video. Everything about the product generates energy and engagement in workshops and meetings. The breakouts are seamless and have all the common setups ready to go. The agendas are a game changer β€” being able to plan beforehand and adjust on the fly gives me so much confidence going into a session. The reactions and soundboard are just plain fun. It's rare to find a product that has so much delight designed into it. I can't say enough good things about Butter, and they're only getting started 🧈🧈🧈
Jakob Knutzen
@petermcdonagh_ thanks so much, this is such a wonderful description! Really appreciate it man! You're hitting the hammer totally on the nail in terms of what Butter is all about. This is just amazing to hear 😊😊😊
Victor
I love that you guys made this short fun special PH video inside your own product!
Jakob Knutzen
@victor_milton_van_doorn Haha, yeah! I guess that's the way to do it! It was fun man!
Neil S W Murray
I know first hand how hard Jakob and the team have been working on this, delighted to see their determination has resulted in such a beautiful product! 😍
Jakob Knutzen
@neilswmurray thanks so much and for believing in us as such a reasonably early stage, Neil! It's truly a pleasure 😊
