This is something that gets asked a lot. We're exploring what it would look like to have only body doubling and our other asynchronous features pulled out as a separate experience. Some things we're thinking through are
- What impact this will have on the current body doubling experience, where there's a certain "vibe" knowing that every other person in the room is actively engaging in coaching and you can ask them questions about their coaching etc.
- How that will change our team's focus since that product will require larger amounts of moderation, community management, and other tasks that we aren't currently focusing on. Since we're a small team (and mostly neurodivergent), we need to make sure we're super focused in our messaging and efforts
HOWEVER, it is definitely in the medium term roadmap. I think if we get enough people asking for it, it could get pulled forward.
Curious what you use now and what you like/ don't like about it — are you on other body doubling platforms?
- tchock23 2y agoThanks for the reply. That all makes sense, especially around moderation and focus. I’m not using anything now. I’ve tried out various products like Focusmate but what keeps me away is I experience ‘waiting mode’ where I’ll waste time waiting for a scheduled session to begin. I’m looking for an open room I can hop into at any time that has a clean UI and is purpose driven for body doubling/co-working (i.e., not Discord or Slack). I’d also love it if these rooms were organized by who is in them. It would be interesting to see what other ‘indie hackers’ are actively working on (as one example), whereas the todo list of someone not like me isn’t very compelling.
