TL;DR: Custom emoji reactions for Slack, Discord, and/or any other team messaging app you have.
Hello everybody! π
My name is Blendor & this bad boy right here is called Custom Reactions. β¨
Y'all need the background story on how we came up with it: here at Clover Labs, we're a tight-knit team.
I mean, we've been working with each other in various forms throughout the last ten years and still haven't seriously injured each other - this should count for something. In these years, we've seen quite some things, built a thing or two, and, most importantly, had (and still have!) fun along the way.
You know, "all work and no fun makes Jack a dull boy" - or Blendor, Luka, Simon, or anybody else. We've developed a unique understanding of each other during this time, like a secret lingo comprised of funny moments and internal jokes. Our Slack is full of custom reactions with a rich history behind them: reminders of memorable events, funny situations, extraordinary people - every day, our actions add to the collective lore of Clover Labs.
As they say, Rome wasn't built in a day - the same thing goes for teams: through mutual good and bad experiences, a team is shaped, grows, and evolves. Along this process, the same happens with our communication - OK, enough with the dry corpo talk: c'mon man, it's 2021 and you still don't have custom emojis for your team?! π€
Hop on the magical train of emojis, introduce your office elders to the meme culture and immortalize yourself as a meme, as a symbol - even Bruce Wayne knew he had to don a mask to defeat the bad guys.
One quick example here: maybe some of our remote co-workers don't have much contact with me - but they surely know who I am. I'm currently a face on six different emojis in Clover Labs Slack, including myself with blond hair (:blonder:), my face on 1st gen Charizard (:blendizard:) and others.
Let us help you deepen your team ties and elevate your company culture in an honest, funny and much-cheaper-than-corporate-coaching-weekend-workshop way.
If you have any questions or feedback, you can reach us at blendor@cloverlabs.io or send a comment here, shoot a DM on social, send a pigeon to Slovenia - no matter the place, we're here for you! π
Have a good one and stay groovy! π₯³
@tadejmursic thanks man, appreciate the support here! I think that we all agree on this: we should be having more fun in our workplace - why not start with custom emojis? π
@tasos_valtinos thanks for the comment and the congrats - we've got a limited promo code up there for Product Hunt fam, makes an already cheap thing even cheaper! π
@james_afino thanks, really glad to hear this - same thing here: if I were to put in numbers, the custom reactions in our Slack are 3.43x more liked than standard Slack ones π
I LOVE this idea, as someone who once uploaded the entire Party Parrot suite to Slack (one by one) this is really something that can bring out the lolz
@sophia_tupolev_luz thanks for you kind words - can relate with you, we've all been there at one point... uploading all 151 Pokemons of 1st gen to Slack is no walk in the park!
@mario_markovic so nice to hear it, thanks man - in reality, we just have too little time to work on fun stuff: everything is serious-y business-y, every day. This is why we launch new things, to keep the inner child happy π
