The entire premise of the tool. There are developers who work full-time remote specifically to escape micro-managing aspects such as knowing exactly when you're sitting in your chair. Presumably you've built this for the other set of remote developers who are only working remotely because they have to, but really they want an office. This tool caters to the latter at the expense of the former.
- mahad759 6y agoEXACTLYYYYY! What everyone seems to forget that there can be more than one type of remote work. The title of this this post is to work like you're in the same office. Whole tool is focusing towards people who would WANT to have that type of remote experience, they need to know about each other's schedule etc.
- emerged 6y agoIf there's something constructive to take from the somewhat brutal set of responses you've received, I'd say it's to strategically consider how to make this software friendly to the HN type of remote worker (those who value independence and don't wish to simulate an office environment). I'm not sure exactly what that would look like, but if that type of remote worker feels too threatened by the software, the companies will receive lots of push back and you're less likely to retain them as a customer.
