Thanks! Definitely looking for feature requests. I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean quick/throwaway groups?

  I just meant more - 1<>1 channels. So I could say : sqwark Dave and it instantly creates me a 1<>1 channel with Dave of he’s available. Also just noticed the second download link lower down the page doesn’t work.

    Ah yeah that's on our todo list. At the moment, we tend to create groups like "Person A / Person B" but it's not ideal. The plan is that you can also Squawk anyone inside a group 1-on-1. Screen-sharing is next on the list. Download link fixed...thanks!

      Cool, yep that also works. Another awesome thing would be the option to run a speech to text algo on the conversation and have it transcribed into the channel log so if I miss the conversation I can catch up on things. But also you would need an ‘off-the-record’ Mode if you wanted to complain in private.

      Another thought, is maybe you could also make this a slack plugin. Would reduce the onboarding friction.

  Not necessarily a feature request, but a request regarding the website, possibly a nitpicky request at that. At the top of the page, under "Push-to-Talk Collaboration", it says "Squawk delivers instant team chat". That line specifically confused me heavily. That line makes it sound like this is the feature your product is delivering. But MS Teams already has instant team chat functionality. What does this mean then? Aside from this, I love the idea and the implementation of your product. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I definitely have a strong urge to do so now. EDIT: Looks like I was misled by the title of the HN submission. I thought this was a walkie-talkie plug-in for MS Teams (mostly because of "Teams" in the title being capitalized), not a standalone product (which it, turns out, is). Please ignore my original request regarding the website. Still excited to give your product a try, probably even more now, after finding out it is a standalone product.
