Great work @juliennicault . I was wondering if you could share any insight into how you plan to price this. It would help me make a more informed decision on how I can go about testing this out in my team.
Julien Nicault
@gaurabhmathure Thanks a lot! Premium plan and features will come later this year and we'll do our best to offer a competitive price for the value. It should be around $14 to $19 per employee per month. If we can help you avoid 2 or 3 meetings per week using our platform, it's may be worth the price. What do you think @Gaurabhmathure?
Antoine Plu
I've been trying Redesk recently, and I love the philosophy behind the product. Bringing calm into your daily communication is more than a nice to have for your team! Congrats @juliennicault and @raphb for the launch!
Julien Nicault
@raphb @antoineplu Thank you so much Antoine! Really happy to stay in touch with you about this project.
Menj
Will try to explore and try this.
Brian Roach
Woah! This is a really cool idea and a unique take on communication. Excited to follow this. Congrats on the launch! 👏👏
Mathieu Fosse
Congrats @juliennicault and @raphb ! This product will definitely help teams (especially remote ones) to communicate more efficiently and in a less stressful way. I just joined the beta !
Julien Nicault
@raphb @pointcom Thank Mathieu! We hope it will help you to get the most of your team. Async matters!
Maximilien Tyc
Looks definitely promising! Do you plan on adding integrations, like the github integration for developer desks?
Raphael
Thank you @maximilientyc ! Yes, we definitely plan on adding integrations with developer tools like github but also with documentation (notion...) and task management. We love to receive feedback on the integrations users want, don't hesitate to tell us what would help you!
Sébastien Robaszkiewicz
Great idea, I love it! What's the idea behind including a live chat (instead of going full asynchronous)? Is this a request from your users?
Julien Nicault
@robi Thank you Sébastien! Yes, it is an highly requested features, as people want to replace existing group chat apps by Redesk eventually.
Roland Shen
Very cool! Totally see the problems you're working to solve.
Julien Nicault
@rolandtshen Thanks Roland! I hope you will love what we have done so far.

Hi PH community 👋 My co-founder Raphaël and I are thrilled to introduce you our first app: Redesk. The product is still in beta right now but we are iterating rapidly. Redesk is the async-first messaging app for teams with built-in goals, deadlines and upvotes. Redesk offers modern teams a different way to communicate by leveraging asynchronous messaging with thoughtful and long-form messages instead of one liner chats and reactions. The main problems we are trying to solve are: - Information losses - Too many meetings - Noise and interruptions - Time zone desync within remote teams - Bad communication and poor decision making Our ultimate goal is to create an healthy and thoughtful culture of written communication in modern enterprises while accelerating remote work adoption. Why it matters ? Team communication is the beating heart of every company. But we strongly believe that modern apps like real-time group chats in always open channels are destroying your productivity, your focus and your overall efficiency at work. People get mad, stressed-out or worse just because of all the noise that pollutes their mind during the day. In just a few months, it creates a very toxic 'fear of missing out' and ASAP culture. It's time to reduce all that noise and bring back the signal. There is a way to do this. It's called "asynchronous communication" and it is something many successful tech companies have in common. Just ask Loom, Gumroad, Buffer, Zapier, Doist, Gitlab and many more... We all used to communicate more asynchronously when we were writing emails. Emails are async by design. You don't expect the recipient to respond instantly, you draft your messages, you write long-form texts... but emails was not built for work. They are unorganized, noisy, mixed with personal stuff, not collaborative, not project-driven and just old-fashion. We want our project to be at the crossroad of emails and group chats and take the best of both worlds. Because we all love to be connected together and the playfulness of emojis reactions and gifs inside conversations, we build the best of both worlds with an Inbox and an integrated 1 to 1 live chats as well. Modern teams need thoughtful conversations to make great decisions, generate innovative ideas and solve problems. They don't need meetings. This is why we are building Redesk. It's still an early version and we need your feedback on this vision and product. Raphaël and I really hope you will give it a try. If you want to stay in touch, feel free to follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/redesknow or drop us a line at hello@redesk.co We love you all. Many thanks, Julien

Really good project. Nice to see this new product come to life. The idea and the philosophy behind it are the best you can do for our daily communication.
Stowe Boyd
How is it different from Twist?
Julien Nicault
@stowe_boyd We didn't use Twist to be honest.
pascal briod
I love to see one more tools (after Threads and Twist) to come on the list of options I evaluate to move some of our discussions away from Slack, congrats on the great job and looking forward to see how the product evolve!

Great concept, would love to have a compact view in UI so to see more on canvas; video calls/ screen-sharing integration?
Julien Nicault
@quincylun Thanks Quincy! We're working on the new UI. I think you'll love it. You can see some screens on Redesk here: https://beta.redesk.co/community...
Vincent Poulain
We definitely need an opinionated communication product async based. I love that! Feedback: "messaging app" still sounds really sync for me.
Julien Nicault
@vincent_poulain2 Thanks Vincent! I agree on opinionated products. We're trying to show the way here. Hope others will follow.
Jérémy Cochoy
I subscribed to the beta just to test it. I love the concept, and wouldn't be surprised if you end up completely replacing slack in five years. Is it possible to add audio / video recording inside conversation (directly from the app, like one can do with Telegram for example)? If you target the "remote work" space, do not under estimate how many non verbal cues are part of facial expression and voice tones.
Justin Mitchell
@jeremycochoy maybe a Yac integration? :D
Julien Nicault
@jeremycochoy @jmitch Hi Justin, I think Yac is great. May be we should team up?
Jérémy Cochoy
@jmitch I do not know YAC. But what I ment is a short video recording with your face/voice appearing in the Redesk Thread instead of text + the ability to make a such recording using only one click in the message interface (if your computer/phone have a camera). This is definitively a non trivial functionality to implement so obviously make sure most peoples really need it before writing a single line of code. :) It is the feature I personally miss the most in slack today (at least as much as the threading mechanism of Redesk that I find really awesome).
Kangle Lin
Very cool I think. The UI is awesome
Mathieu RASSE
Love the way Redesk make us rethink about communication and create positive and peaceful spaces to debate and decide.
Julien Nicault
@mat250 Thanks Mathieu ! Super happy to have you and the Meta API team onboard.
Burhanuddin Johar
Great idea. Can foresee some great future here. All the best.
Marcel
Hey, early adopter here! Like the UI/UX of Redesk and for a beta it's pretty stable! It forces us to put a new decision process, better and calm. We decrease our stress by continuously speaking for nothing on Slack. You should give it a try, it can totally help you improve your productivity 😉
Katheriin Liibert
Asynchronous team communication has to be the future. It's very much what we tried to encourage with Fleep and also remember Twist gunning for it. Good luck!
Julien Nicault
@niirehtak Thanks for your support Katheriin!
