👋 Hunters, Thanks for checking us out! My name is Macgill and I’m the Head of Product at Humble Dot. I thought I’d share a bit about why and how we developed Workflows. Workflows is a feature that was truly inspired by our users and built around the idea that every team is unique with its own particular processes and communication styles. About a year ago, we launched Humble Dot with the goal of building happier and higher-performing teams by improving communication. To that end, we created a set of best practices - a Monday Kickoff and a Friday Wins & Shout-outs. We felt these two processes could help users get the most of our product and, therefore, build stronger, happier teams. However, from talking with our users of the last year, we’ve been amazed to see how teams have customized Humble Dot well beyond our best practice templates to fit their specific processes and needs. We saw teams create check-ins from scratch to fit entire new use cases. These included things like project retrospectives, product feature brainstorms, feedback on interview candidates, and more. Despite the variety of uses cases, our users consistently told us that they used Humble Dot because it allowed them to communicate more easily and with less noise while often times eliminating (or greatly reducing) a meeting or a messy Google Doc. Remote and distributed teams especially liked how Humble Dot allowed them to communicate asynchronously over multiple time zones. In short, we saw firsthand that every team is unique and requires their own particular processes. With Workflows, we wanted to share the many different uses cases for Humble Dot and provide teams with templates to easily find, setup, and customize the processes that work best for them. Nearly every one of our first 30+ Workflows was inspired by how a team currently uses Humble Dot. So take a look at Workflows! Pick a workflow and give us a try - it’s free 🙂! We’d love to hear your feedback and we’re eagerly looking for more ideas and categories for future workflows.

Thank you so much @hnshah for hunting our Workflows launch! Hello Product Hunt! My name Will Goto and I’m the CEO of Humble Dot. Meetings are incredibly disruptive to deep focus, particularly if you are a designer, engineer, or simply need hours of uninterrupted time to get your work done. Paul Graham (Cofounder of Y Combinator) famously wrote about how meetings inefficiently adhere to the manager’s schedule, not the maker’s schedule. In a world of remote work, globalized teams, and cross-functional projects, we need a new way to stay on the same page without endless meetings. Our goal with Humble Dot is to provide a more efficient and higher-quality form of communication without noise. Workflows is our next step to realize that goal. Our hope is to eliminate all meetings that can be run asynchronously through our product, saving countless hours for those who need blocks of uninterrupted time to be productive. Please check it out, and let us know what you think! ❤️

Congrats on the launch Will and Macgill! Give us more - what more can we expect in the future? :-)

Love using Humble Dot as a team member! Gives me the opportunity to stay in good communication with my manager even when working remote!

We use Humble Dot to run weekly status updates; we’ve loved it. It’s fun and extremely easy to use and completely replaced our in-person status meetings that myself and everyone else dreaded.

To me, it looks similar to slack and other communication channels !

I really love how it's easy to use. We can effectively communicate with management and get to know our team better by seeing their responses to the ice breakers.

Awesome product. Makes team and weekly check-ins fun to complete.

Daily Standups have never been more enjoyable! Going to try to use more of these workflows now that Humble Dot has launched a whole feature set of them!

As an engineering manager, I've been using Humbledot for staying connected to my team of 14 engineers. It's been especially helpful for informing my 6-month reviews. I'm looking forward to using the workflows for new-hire onboarding for my team.

Super user friendly; takes my team minutes to use but saves me a ton of time as a manager; great historical tracking helps me look back to see what we were working on when as a team. Highly recommend.

Making your meetings at work productive tends to require at least a little bit of structure. Sometimes a lot. The folks at Humble Dot have created templated workflows for your meetings to make them that much better. Check 'em out, pick one and go!

Hey all - I work at Humble Dot and we are working hard to build a tool that helps improve communication in companies. At previous jobs I would be in back to back meetings all day and I felt like I only needed 10% of the information. I'm excited to be a part of a product that is trying to fix that.

Humbledot has become the linchpin behind the way our company organizes its communication. Being able to track progress on projects and personal growth has been so illuminating, and saved much time and headaches. Super excited to work with Workflows - this tool is only going to make our lives more effective and easier!

Awesome lightweight tool for helping my team get to know each other on a weekly basis. What I love most about the platform is how connected I feel to team members who are across different time zones and languages. Can’t wait to see what Team Workflows has in store.

Just newly started in my team and using Humble Dot makes me feel plugged in instantly. Definitely fills in the gap in communications tools out there.

Humbledot has saved my (international) team a ton of time and made our meetings more meaningful by getting the basics out of the way and teeing up the important topics. The new workflow templates are giving me some great ideas and themes beyond just the weekly cadence stuff already in place.

As a member & leader of a number of distributed teams, I am constantly looking for tools and processes to help create efficiencies and structure. I've really enjoyed using Humble's other products thus far, and look forward to putting workflows to use.

Congrats on launching Workflows guys! I’ve watched Humble Dot progress overtime & I can vouch for its effectiveness. Now that HD has a free tier, I can communicate with several contractors and freelancers without having to schedule countless meetings.

I've been using Humble Dot with my team for about a year now. Being that my team is distributed worldwide, HD has been extremely helpful because it helps me to manage my weekly 1:1's. More importantly (and my favorite aspect) is that it gives me and my team the opportunity to get to learn about one another. It offers a personal piece (via the social question), along with the professional.
