Wonder is a fantastic product for all those gatherings where it's more about people connecting than a broadcast. So excited to see this evolution and to keep using the product!

Beautiful video and branding, congrats!

I've spent the last two years taking some big conferences virtual. Wonder has been a key part of that, letting speakers and participants network post-presentations (which also makes the speakers feel WAY less isolated.) I love the team, their careful growth, and their approach. They've resolved one of the key issues of online events—having everyone's videos on while having hundreds of participants—in a creative way that opens up a ton of new possible experiences. Highly recommended if you're sick of staring at rectangles all day!

Congrats team wonder on the new release, love the brand and the product feels super smooth 🤩

Beautiful design, looks great

Super pumped for this launch and excited to see what everyone thinks! Really happy to also invite you all to come have a chat with me and my team to talk about the future of virtual experiences. You can snatch an invite here: bit.ly/3FMThBO

I have taken part in a few Wonder sessions and they are definitely more fun and engaging than other video meetings I have had. Looking forward to seeing the product continue to improve!

The virtual office space is fascinating! Excited to see how Wonder will find its place given some competitors are doing relatively different things. Congrats!

@leonard_witteler1 Best Wishes !!! HAve been using Wonder for the last few months and I would say it is refreshingly new way of conducting and attending virtual meetings. Infact my team feels that it very closes mimics how we behave in physical meetings and conferences.

Wonder is a product I got to know in the beginning of the pandemic. I am rarely astonished by how things could be done and how smoth they can work. I really think this is the best replacement for in person events. Curious where this is going!

Thanks for the support! I love hearing about Wonder being used in multiple contexts. We do indeed work on our "office" all day but there are so many more ways to use it. As Andrew mentioned, tablet and mobile support are a huge priority for us so expect news soon.

Really enjoying the conversations happening in our live space! Thanks @chrismessina for spreading the good word!

Thanks to @chrismessina for the hunt! Hi everyone! This is Stephane, Leo and Pascal from Wonder! We're very excited 🤩 and a little nervous 😱 to be back - we hope you find this interesting and are looking forward to hearing your thoughts 🙏 In April 2020 our previous startup got crushed by the first lockdown 🥲 We thought about what the world needs and were super intrigued by the fact that you can't meet in groups online 🤔. Something that makes getting together in groups special just doesn't work virtually 😒 It's one of the biggest problems of the digital age and solving it would add a big puzzle piece to creating real connections between humans through the internet 🚀 ❤️ So we hacked together a prototype for a browser-based spatial chat app 🤓 🛠️ and started to phone event planners, asking them if they wanted to use it. In under a year, we grew to 750k MAU, purely by word of mouth, raised funding and grew into a little company 🤯 🤪 We're super proud to launch our second iteration of the product. We completely reworked the core experience - it's faster ⚡smoother 😎 crisper 🍎 supports up to 500 participants 🌍 has a re-worked UX 🛼 and went through a rebrand 💫. We're very excited about what comes next, but before that, here's a bit of context: **What is Wonder** Wonder is a virtual space for groups to get together in a way that feels natural and energising 🤗🥳. In essence, we care about creating moments of connection, when you experience something together and meet new people ❤️‍🔥 So Wonder isn't meant as a virtual space that people spend all day in (e.g. an office) 👔. It's designed for gatherings with a fixed start and end date, and a purpose 🎇. We think that's what the world needs right now - a space to build and maintain real human connections 🧑‍🤝‍🧑. Some features that describe the product: - Browser-based spatial chat - Up to 500 people in each space (room expands automatically) - Customise background - Broadcast to speak to everyone at the same time - Areas to add structure to your event - Free and no signup **Who uses Wonder** Many of our early adopters are event professionals (who sit in different types of orgs) 🕴️🕴️ but part of the vision is that it's so easy to set up the venue that anyone can be a host 👶 We want to empower as many people as possible to get people together and watch the magic happen 💪! **How we think about the future** Spatial chat apps have received a lot of attention, so for those of you who are interested, here is how we think about it: **It's not about the 2D space** - the power of spatial chat apps lies in the social dynamics that the interaction principle unlocks. So our focus is not on making the spaces more immersive or complex, but *facilitating interaction between participants* 💁‍♀️ 💫 🙋. Right now, connecting online feels awkward - it should be a breeze! **Connections are made 'in-between'** - we're *creating opportunities for serendipity* 😝🍀🤯. Wonder spaces support 500 participants and we're building space areas where you can host different sub-events simultaneously. People experience what's going on elsewhere and spontaneously move around if something looks exciting **Power to the people** - great events are made by the guests. Imagine Woodstock without the audience. That's impossible if you're muted, in a grid. We *help guest shape gatherings* 😄🗯️ 🎤 😄and let them feel each other's presence in the space. **Don't talk about the weather** - People find it incredibly difficult to start meaningful conversations online. Like a good host who introduces guests to each other, Wonder *helps surfacing commonalities between users* 🧑‍🚀 ⁉️🧑‍🚀. We use icebreaker questions that hosts can set for guests, so they have something to talk about. We're also working on statuses that are searchable in the participant list, so that guests can find people interested in similar things and have meaningful conversations with them. We'd love to hear from you (1) what activities/features/ideas/products you've seen that made virtual meetings connecting/energising/exciting (2) what tires you most about meeting virtually (3) general feedback on the product, of course! 🙂

Just gave Wonder 2.0 another try. Love the re-design and the new features you have introduced. The visual style on the landing page is very unique. A few transitions were a bit slow and my Intel Macbook pro was faning heavily. Audio broke here and there (with stable internet connection) It would be a great to provide options to make transitions between different conversations instant and not morph them into each other always. As this created unnecessary lag in my experience. Very stocked for the next workshop that we will run in Wonder. 🤩

looks like a new product for metaverse idea development :)

Wow! Such a cool thing. And a good competitor for SpatialChat and things alike. But it looks like yours is 100 times better. looks like something very natural and in harmony. Great work. And I liked a community page on your website

WOW! Great tool for our current reality. Good luck!

Wonder is an incredible tool. I've using it for months and months as a remote office tool and things just feel amazing :) I'm dying to know where the team will take this forward over the next months!

I remember the first version, it seems that you have changed a lot design-wise, looks great and artsy. Good luck on your launch!
