This is a tool for nagging that offers nothing over what we all already have. Every criticism is met with the same copied and pasted answer. We've all experienced it - you go and ask your cohort mates and friends and family 'is th

Agree wholeheartedly with this. They are acting like it's all just total freedom - you can use it only if it's useful to you. Willfully ignoring how often companies enforce technology on employees. i.e. Away forcing employees to c

Terrible but you're enabling it.

Yep. Couldn't agree more. This reads like a group of co-founders and all their mates/YC cohorts saying how great a product is because they want it to be a great idea so bad.

Yep - big brother.

Yep, feels like they've fallen over on the whole 'define a problem' thing. Have they got any actual clients or just a bunch of fellow cohort YC companies all clapping each other on the back.

This exactly. Now I have to deal with push notifications all day long everytime someone is alone in the room. Can you imagine if everytime someone was alone in the office you got a notification.

Sorry but we're not missing anything. Not wanting to have micro managing overlords in your own home is perfectly natural. If you have this and your boss pings you - then the power imbalance puts pressure on you to accept. Any company i

Yep or zooming them, or microsoft teaming them. IBM released a very popular set of working from home guidelines - one of the absolute most important rules is that you never ask an employee to turn on their cameras - it's an invasion of

This is hands down the worst startup idea in the history of the world. I would flat out leave at a company who introduced this or not start there in the first place.

Yeah, I feel like people don't understand how big shopify is and how quickly it's growing. If you look at Elliot who just failed trying to be a competitor to shopify, you will realise that this is a much better route to go.

Yes, I always think working in business for a while is useful because you see so many inefficiencies that give you ideas. Like the guys that made millions on ski resort management software. Who knew that was even a thing!?

There was an article on HN about extremely successful Mormon startups. Interesting that they all manage to leave the office at 5pm (because they all have 6 kids) and build multi-billion dollar businesses.

This. I think there are elements of fantasy of what it's like to work at a big corporate vs. working 'for' investors. Also, I can't help thinking you'd learn a huge amount at YCombinator even if at the end of it you

Where can we find this?

Yes exactly. It seems like the market was people who are so small they cannot afford/work out how to use shopify or woocommerce. Not sure that's a market you want to be in!

My biggest question is for the investors here. They are supposed to be sophisticated and yet they bought into a sales pitch that was basically what - shopify and woocommerce are too complex for small (minority) businesses!? Seriously? Where
