Sure thing! A couple keys differences: 1) Avatars - as you mentioned 2) Walkie-talkie - most virtual offices have a call analogy, where you call someone to speak. In Pragli, you don't call - you just jump straight into a conversation,

Hi there - currently, we encourage you to use Pragli alongside a text tool (Slack, Teams, even just email). We will evaluate whether or not it makes sense to build one as we go.

Hi HN! After selling our first company, my co-founder Vivek and I started working remotely at the acquirer. We discovered we were much more productive than we'd expected, but we struggled with two main issues: communication and lonelin

We actually discovered that the CPU increase was not caused by the detection, but rather by the CSS animation of the SVG moving around. It turns out that the detection itself is very fast and lightweight, so there was no need to optimize (b

We are a bootstrapped 2 person company and the product is in beta. FWIW, the two of us devs are doing QA as well.

This is a good point. If the manager is going to implement Pragli, they need to make it very clear that opting out is very OK and even encouraged... we need to do a better job of making this feel socially OK in the app.

Genuinely curious: do people actually use these at Atlassian? In college we had a portal to another college that looked very similar, and it was never used.

This is a really thoughtful response! FWIW, we believe the future involves both sync and async tools. Friday seems like it could be helpful on the async side.

Quick note from the author: Pragli has a feature that is inspired by a walkie-talkie. Pragli itself is not just an online walkie-talkie. Check out our homepage if you want to learn more about Pragli (pragli.com)

Making it very customizable is key. Different teams have different workflows.

We hope that statuses / our calendar integration provide the outlet for remote workers to have focus time. It's definitely a balance!

FWIW it's worked well for us, but our application has the follow characteristics: 1) Our data is relatively small and well-scoped, so we're only querying small amounts of data (maybe 10-20 queries each of <50 records) from any
