Hallway alternatives

I really love using slack! The interface is simple and beautiful, and the operation is very simple. A Good and useful app!

Big fan of Loom for cutting down on meeting time. We use Loom a lot at Product Hunt to make asynchronous time more effective and reduce unnecessary meetings.

We work with the Standuply Teams scrum bot on a regular basis. In my experience regular asynchronous standups may turn into status updates and team may feel the monotony. So we combine async/face-to-face formats but still with a Standuply bot. We set up this bot so that it collects an agenda before a meeting, and then sends everyone a link to this meeting, which is also held through scrum bot and at this face-to-face meeting, all team members can see the prepared agenda on their screens and talk on topic. At offline meetings, we sometimes run the Standuply automation of a Planning Poker or demonstrate graphs and analytics collected from task trackers. That fills live meetings with visual point.

The features are all amazing, and industry standard. Icing in the cake is pricing is a small fraction of what those huge organisations charge.

Daily is an amazing batteries-included video calling provider. We're using them at Introwise to power our in-browser video calls with live streaming and recording, and only hear positive things from our end users about the call reliability and quality. Their SDK is the simplest that I've seen from the integration viewpoint. It hides the complexity, but also allows to go low-level for implementing really customized user experience. The support and community are top-notch.

AttendanceBot helps us a lot as remote company. We use it to punch in/out, so every team member knows who is currently available.
