Hopefully they'll be able to give DeepSpeech some more love as well.

I recently started using DigitalOcean's new app platform. It's new and still has some kinks, but they've integrated all of Heroku's open source build packs, so migrated from Heroku (if that's what you're doing)

Hey HN! I wanted to share Strikr, a simple online tool for doing live technical interviews remotely. I actually built this tool earlier this year as part of a larger project, but due to COVID and other reasons, I never moved forward with it

Happy to hear you have a solution you’re satisfied with :)

Sort of a similar use case. I think they go a little too heavy on tracking your open windows/URLs and broadcasting it, but that’s just me. Remote Hour looks really cool for the freelancer use case. Nice job on winning Pioneer! I was ab

FWIW, I’m a pretty shy person and actually find the idea of Water Cooler less stressful than having to call someone, wonder if they’re going to answer, and then worry about when they might call later. But that’s me haha

I actually did discuss the security aspect in my first comment, although that’s a bit lost in the mix right now. Essentially, we use WebRTC for the voice/video and everything is encrypted on the wire. Goal is to roll out E2E later this

On the subject of synchronous communication, the plan is to add the ability to send video/screen sharing messages to teammates that can be watched later. I eventually want it to be able to handle both sides of that issue you’re talking

Yeah that is a little creepy haha. Water Cooler doesn't do any surveillance like that.

Thank you! At present time, you get an environment that is designed specifically for the workplace -- more private by nature because everything is scoped to and only available to your organization, higher quality video chat, and higher qual

In the next week or two I'm rolling out direct calls. If you don't need to do external meetings, then this could definitely nix Zoom. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it would replace Slack because most teams still need th

Thanks! The design is still relatively simple, but that will be changing soon as I build out more of the features. There's a 7 day free trial where you get full access to Water Cooler, and after that you're downgraded to the free

Wait, you guys had office snacks? We barely had the bitter coffee!

Thanks, excited for you to try it! Long term, there will be an additional paid tier once we have the feature set to necessitate it. However, even at the current $8/month price it's still highly profitable as far as the infrastruct

Hi HN! I'm Ricky, the founder of Water Cooler. I built Water Cooler to help bridge the gap between async written communication (Slack, email, etc) and live meetings. As many companies suddenly shifted to remote work, I noticed a growin

It was a mistake to use it to begin with.

Seems like a ton of extra work with no real upside. For one, if your migrations fail to complete across all databases for whatever reason then you could hit a point where you have databases with differing schema. Additionally, like someone

I had the same message last month, except my deadline was April 24th. Anyone that's affected will see a message when they log in, but it will actually only reset until you try to log in after that date. For me, I logged in a few days a
