I built a video calling app which is the antithesis of Zoom. It's called Reslash.
You can play with everything - backgrounds, gifs, stickers. You can recreate a bar lounge, classroom, office, 80s party and more.
It also has spatial audio - just move closer to talk to people, like you do IRL.

I would love to get your feedback on it :)
- djlewald 6y agoI'm surprised you didn't launch on producthunt. Definitely think that crowd would get a kick out of it Edit: I now see their producthunt page. It didn't pop up while searching /shrug
- FemmeAndroid 6y agoThey were the #1 product of the day on Product Hunt on December 23rd. They even have a Product Hunt '#1 product of the day' badge featured prominently on their landing page.
- remotelyyours 6y agoWe actually were #1 on Product Hunt. We launched on it couple of weeks ago :)
- alpaca128 6y agoTwo points regarding the pricing table: Firstly it mixes different spellings("up to" and "upto"). And then there are the bullet points with strikethrough text that I just can't understand. Why do both variants have "unlimited spaces" crossed out? Why is "no unlimited guests allowed" crossed out, which in my head implies that unlimited guests are allowed.
- remotelyyours 6y agoGood observation. Pricing needs to be calibrated and communicated properly. On it!!
- neurotrace 6y agoI think this is a fantastic idea and will be trying it out with some friends later! The only issue for me is the pricing. The free tier is great for getting your feet wet but the $99 is too expensive for me to consider since I would only be hanging out with a few friends. For me, the ideal would be something in the $15-$30 range and would increase the call limit to 3-4 hours. I don't need unlimited meetings or more than 10 people. Best of luck!
- remotelyyours 6y agoWe'll definitely be bringing such a plan. Until then, please go ahead and use it as much as you want :) Feedback taken!
- avrionov 6y agoI really like that you are working on something original and different. Wish you luck. What is the tech stack behind the product? Do you use WebRTC? Something home-build.
- remotelyyours 6y agoThanks! You're right. It is webrtc and react.js.
- sli 6y agoThat video answers every question I had about why someone might choose Reslash over Discord, thanks. Reslash looks fun.
- remotelyyours 6y agoThanks!
- juliend2 6y agoFeedback: I just had a quick tour with you guys. Amazing tool. But at first I signed in as a guest, but now I want to sign up with the same email address but it says "Error occured: The email address is already in use by another account.". And I see no "Forgot password" link. EDIT: user email is now in my bio.
- remotelyyours 6y agofixing it!
- remotelyyours 6y agoHey, this is fixed. Can you try signing up again please? Let me know if it still doesn't work.
- juliend2 6y agoIt works! thanks!
- remotelyyours 6y agoYAY!
- ironmagma 6y agoLove it. It would be especially cool to be able to create filters, e.g. chroma keying on your video to integrate it into the space. Or just to make the colors go wonky and have fun with the image.
- remotelyyours 6y agoWow. Cool idea. We definitely need to look into this!
- dec0dedab0de 6y agoI like the idea of spatial audio, I think that is the main thing missing from virtual happy hours and whatnot. I cant try it out right now. Does it have a limit to how many people can occupy a space? can you control how far your voice projects? I am thinking of something like a work christmas party where everyone breaks into groups and then walks away and tries another group for a bit and talks to different people. Then someone gets everyones attention and talks loudly or into a microphone for a bit, then it goes back to normal. In any case, good luck, it sounds great, I cant wait to try it.
- remotelyyours 6y agoYou can have up to 100 people in a room. You have unlimited rooms. We're also building a broadcast feature so that you can talk/announce across rooms. We've not given flexibility on the spatial audio radius yet. It could be interesting!
- FalconSensei 6y agoRegarding pricing: I would see myself using that to play D&D once a week with my friends. So, less than 10 people, but 1 4-hour session a week. Unfortunately, free tier is not enough, but $99 for that is a bit too much.
- remotelyyours 6y agoHey! We have gotten a lot of feedback on pricing. We need to fix it. Please go ahead and start using it! We'll have an in-between pricing soon :)
- FalconSensei 6y agothanks for the reply! I'll give it a try with my friends :)
- snowisgone 6y agoSuper sick. I've used this with my friends. How long was development?
- remotelyyours 6y agoAwesome! How was the experience like? We've tried multiple products. This is third pivot. Took two months to build this.
- Folcon 6y agoCool product =)... Just out of curiosity, are you using distance from avatars to lower sound? So more distant conversations in say a party setting could be audible, but quieter? That would be a key distinction between discord and this in my mind.
- remotelyyours 6y agoYou're right!
- Folcon 6y agoReally neat then =)... Is that an area you've had to spend a lot of time in? Getting that multiple groups conversing where you can overhear / swap conversations or widen the conversation as well has have short sub-conversations is a really great dynamic that's sorely missing in this medium.
