👋🏼 Hey Product Hunt I’m Matan, Co-founder and CEO of Spinach.io. We're on a mission to build healthier meeting habits, starting with Spinach for Daily Standup. We are officially out of beta and are so excited to launch Spinach today. Thanks to @mwseibel for hunting us! Why Spinach? A great daily standup can save dev teams hours of confusion and misalignment. But the problem is that most standups we’ve attended and observed aren’t that great. People aren’t always prepared, it’s hard to stay engaged, one person does all the talking, people tune out, random topics drain the clock, and there’s no record of daily progress. If any of this sounds familiar, read on… How Spinach works 🥬 Before standup Spinach reminds you to prep in Slack. Each person enters their updates in Spinach. Writing helps you articulate thoughts more clearly, saving time during the meeting. Jira integration allows you to link your updates to specific Jira tasks 🥬 During standup Spinach rotates through each person so there’s no fumbling with “who goes next” You can see each person’s update and how long they’ve been speaking Have something to discuss? Don’t interrupt! Add it to Team Topics and Spinach will bring it up at the end to keep things moving. 🥬 After standup Spinach keeps a summary and automatically posts it to Slack. You’ll have a record of all of your previous standups in the app. 🥬 Async friendly If you can’t join, your update can still be “in the meeting”. Or the team can skip the meeting altogether and just post updates directly to Slack. How to try it Try: Go to Spinach.io and try it for yourself. No demos. No credit cards. Share: Let us know what you think! Have friends who run standup? Please tell them they can get time back every day with Spinach.io Save: Free forever for one team
@mwseibel @talmixed Congrats with the launch guys. Will definitely give it a try 👏🏻

Satish Thulva
Our team(19 members) is using it for last couple of months. It helped us to bring a structure into the daily scrum meeting and cut down the meeting time significantly(~45 minutes to ~25 minutes most of the time). Strongly recommended.
Matan Talmi
@satish_thulva Thanks! There's nothing we love more than hearing these success stories from our customers 💪 20 minutes per day, 5 day a week for 19 people means you're saving over 30 HOURS a week!!
emily Fenech
@satish_thulva that’s incredible. So happy Spinach could help you!
Yoav Grossman
@satish_thulva @emily_fenech Super stoked for all your feedback! Thank you for being one of our earliest users!

@jem_white thanks so much Jed :)
Andrew Zhou
Congratulations on the launch! I strongly believe intentional, agenda-driven standups are the best way to do them — by a longshot. Teams with great standups will deliver so much faster. What's the most surprising thing you guys have learned about your users?
Matan Talmi
@andrewthezhou Thanks and great question! One of the things that surprised us most was how long standups are at many companies.. we helped many teams shave off 15, 20 and in some cases even 30 minutes every single day!!
emily Fenech
@talmixed @andrewthezhou right? Thanks so much Andrew :)
Yoav Grossman
@talmixed @andrewthezhou Thanks so much! Best way to see it is to try it :)
Ido Shamun
Woohoo!! Congrats and good luck 😬

emily Fenech
@idoshamun thank you!!
Yoav Grossman
@idoshamun Thanks so much for the support Ido!
@talmixed this is such a great innovative solution for the age-old problem of effective standups. I already shared this internally with our teams to explore. You also deserve a mention on my Weekly SaaS Hunt live stream this week ⭐️
Matan Talmi
@florin_biro Thanks! Would love nay feedback from your teams and will definitely check out the stream!
emily Fenech
@talmixed @florin_biro +1 can’t wait to check out your weekly stream
Yoav Grossman
@talmixed @florin_biro Super excited for you to try! Let us know if you have any feedback or questions.
Ken Savage
Looks cool. Is it a Zoom app? Right now my small team and I meet every morning for 20 minutes over zoom just to catch up and see what everyone’s working on. How does this improve our current process?
Matan Talmi
@kensavage we have a Zoom App - https://marketplace.zoom.us/apps... Spinach.io adds more structure around the meeting and runs it on auto-pilot. Please feel free to book a demo on the site (it's in the footer)
Yoav Grossman
@kensavage @talmixed Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions. Excited for you to give it a try.
Pierre Delinois
My team of 6 thought we already had efficient startups, but we have seen even more gainz and growth since we started using Spinach 7 months ago! Here's what we've loved: 🎯 Focused: Our discussions are more crisp and clear ⌚ Fast: Our Stand-ups went from 15 minutes -> 7 or 8 minutes on average. 🎉 Fun: Ice breakers bring a sense of play, connection, and levity to our daily vibe 📝 Forever (because, alliteration 😝): Documenting stand up minutes + sharing with broader org is extra easy
Matan Talmi
@pierre_delinois Love it!! Thanks for being early beta users and please keep the feedback coming!!
emily Fenech
@pierre_delinois I LOVE the alliteration. Have you thought about Marketing career?? This is great.
Yoav Grossman
@pierre_delinois @emily_fenech Yes!! Thank you so much for all your support and constant feedback on how we can make this experience magical for you and your team.
Jaime Castro
our tech and product team (and soon our data team) have been using spinach for almost 4 months. i think all of our devs, designers and pms are never going back to traditional standups. it has made standups a breeze. the team really enjoys it and has made standups be not-boring/annoying. definitely recommend for teams of all sizes and definitely not limited to engineering teams! also love the icebreaker feature. some crazy conversations and discussions have spun off of that 😂 kudos to the team!
Matan Talmi
@jaimeic Love this! Thanks Jaime and please keep the feedback coming!
emily Fenech
@jaimeic would love to hear what data team thinks!
Yoav Grossman
@jaimeic Thank you for all your support Jaime!

Matan Talmi
@vishal_s_krishna Thanks for being early beta users! This launch wouldn't happen without all the great feedback from our beta teams!
emily Fenech
@vishal_s_krishna “to the point” love that!!
Yoav Grossman
@vishal_s_krishna @emily_fenech Thank you so much Vishal! Really appreciate all the amazing feedback.
Simon Laver
Great work @talmixed. I have 3 squads that have been using Spinach daily for the last 3 months. Our stand-ups have become much more focused, shorter and way more productive. Spinach has trained us to prepare for stand-up and simplify feedback. Well done to the Spinach on getting out of beta - all the best for the next phase!
Matan Talmi
@simon_laver Thanks for being early beta users, really appreciate the feedback and support!
emily Fenech
@talmixed @simon_laver I love reading this! So happy Spinach could help.

@talmixed @simon_laver Amazing! Really appreciate all your support and feedback to help make the experience better.
Austen Grossman
My team of 6 has been using this daily for the last month and it's by far my favorite standup tool - it's made the process so easy and streamlined. 10/10 would recommend
Matan Talmi
@austen_grossman1 Love it! Please let us know if there's anything that would make the experience even better!
emily Fenech
@austen_grossman1 10 out of 10! Love to hear that. Thank you Austen :)
Yoav Grossman
@austen_grossman1 @emily_fenech So happy you gave it a shot with your team!
Gustavo Santamaría
From the ice breakers to being able to upload Jira tickets, it has given a fast and entertaining dynamic to the daily
Matan Talmi
@gustavo_santamaria Love it! Please keep the feedback coming!
emily Fenech
@gustavo_santamaria never underestimate the power of entertainment :) so happy Spinach is bringing the speed and the fun.

@ennayak yay! Can't wait to hear what you think.
Alex Fortney
Our team is spread from Northern California to Kazakhstan, and everywhere in between, and we found ourselves kind of just going through the motions during daily stand ups. Since we started using Spinach, we've had more meaningful and productive standups that are both a better use of our time and have helped us understand one another's work better. And the team at Spinach is great about wanting to keep the feedback loop open. Highly recommend this product if you're looking to get more out of daily standups.
emily Fenech
@alex_fortney Thanks so much for being an amazing beta team and for all the amazing design feedback. You rock!!
Matan Talmi
@alex_fortney Thanks for all the feedback 🙏 please keep it coming!
Yoav Grossman
@alex_fortney Super excited to have had a chance to meet you and the team! Really appreciate all the amazing feedback and support.
