@pandiyasid Congrats on the launch! Already a great response from the Launchpad team at M13. So clean, great onboarding!
wow, this is so cool! congrats on the launch and looking forward to using it
I love the custom emojis! Never seen the lolsob before, very much a mood nowadays :,)
Kona has come so far from the early days of just the three of you running around Startup UCLA with a barebones slack app. The UI looks so clean, and now that we're growing our team soon, Pearl is definitely going to start using it! Every team is going to need a Kona.
(Btw ?makers I'm still waiting on the plushie merch store)
@alec2435 Haha, it's been a fun journey so far! Just the beginning for us and for Pearl :) Glad to hear y'all are growing the team, and excited to hear more feedback on Kona!
As someone who just started a job where half the team is remote, I see the incredible value of a transparent and empathetic culture where everyone, even those far away, feels welcome and understood. I’ve had the honor to witness the team’s failures, growth, and continuous grit since its beginning in 2018 — and I am so excited for the future of Kona!! 🐶
@alexandrahlii We're so lucky to have you supporting us every step of the way, Alex. Keep being amazing. The world needs more of you<3
such a cool product! love the simplicity, thoughtfulness, and fun in Kona, excited about the mission to build a healthier + empathetic work culture
@danielavelez4 Thanks so much Daniela! It's intended to be really simple, so I'm glad it comes across that way too. Appreciate the support!
@jasonw Thanks a lot! Fun fact - we use Cohere at Kona, and are absolutely loving it.
Love the new design - excited to see this be used at more companies & orgs :)
@mahesh_murag Thanks a ton! Yes, after 1.0 we saw a ton of inbound from orgs, which was why we decided to support org-wide rollouts better. Appreciate the support!
Well designed and purposeful, Kona 2.0 seems to be the timely gift for all managers! Can’t wait to use it!
@tim_connors Thanks a lot Tim! Pearl looks amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on it :)
I'm in love with the team and product. You can tell how much they care about remote work with the extensive and thoughtful guides that they continuously ship ontop of their product. My favorite one is https://www.heykona.com/team-bui.... Congrats and excited for the road ahead!!
@thehksk That's so sweet! We want to make being a good person mainstream at work - wild thought, right? That's what our content aims to educate managers on - good emotional leadership practices.
Looks like a huge upgrade from the original Kona. Can't wait to try out 2.0!
@camm73 It is! It's our first time moving off of Slack-only. Our early customers say it's 10X better than V1 :) My personal favorite part is when Kona tells you that you're "trending red" and need to take a break. Through this I personally noticed that I was overworking myself a little bit, and Kona helped me flag it!
excited for Kona 2.0!! the custom emojis and personal trends are an amazing touch (: impressed by the team as always!
In a new virtual world this product is what's needed to connect us like never before!! I personally think the check in and interface is seamless and gorgeous 😍🥰❤
Congrats on the launch, Kona team!!! this looks amazing— always inspired by the work you guys do
Congrats on the Kona 2.0 launch!! Love the mission of improving EQ in teams and the product is looks fantastic :) especially love the web dashboard!!
@shivam_thapar it's a simple goal - to make it mainstream to be a good person at work. Shouldn't be that far-fetched, right?
