I'd love to hear about what Distributed's strength is, and why it's better than the alternatives like Zoom, Teams video, Slack video, etc.

- asim 6y agoDistributed combines text, audio and video in one place. Text plays a central role just as it does in slack. It's how we share links or interesting content. In things like zoom it's an after thought. The difference with our audio/video focus is that a person isn't a huge square, they're a small bubble. We really had zoom fatigue during Covid but found we were missing an office atmosphere. What we wanted was to feel the "presence" of someone without staring at them. Turns out deemphasizing the size of the video helps tremendously. We find it's a killer feature and keeps us on distributed for longer.
