Is this different from what Slack and Zoom can do already? Not trying to knock it, just curious. My office is about to get a little more remote, and I was considering getting everyone into Discord, so I'm very interested in trying this.
- rajivayyangar 7y agoCompared with Slack and Zoom, it's way faster - just click and start talking! Think of it as push-to-talk, 2.0, with a richer sense of presence (seeing what work app, so you know if you're interrupting anything).
- pj_mukh 7y agoPush-to-talk was the killer feature for us. We've been using it extensively. There are no silver bullets in managing (and being) remote teams, but Tandem helps a lot along the way!
- o-__-o 7y agoSo they created the tap-you-on-the-shoulder problem for remote workers? I prefer being scheduled not someone blaring audio at me because it’s convenient for them... but it’s what the business owners want
- rajivayyangar 7y agoThe maker-manager dilemma is real - which is something we try to address with the prominent Focus mode. At the same time, a big reason we show the app status is so that the "business owners" can hopefully take cues and minimize their interruptiveness. For example, as a product manager, I will often decide not to bother my co-founder Tim because I see he's in a coding editor (and thus in deep-focus).
