I seriously thought this was what Slack launched today!
Slack releases Slack Huddles, an audio chat tool, and details new features, including video messages and an enhanced company directory
Cool! Congratulations on the launch! Am I correct in assuming that you are kind of like Clubhouse, but for video? Or is that your aim? If not, why would I use Huddle, instead of sporradic FaceTime calls with my friends and family?
@julianpaul It's the latter Julian. We don't prefer those sporadic FaceTime calls either.
Hey, I hope all is well with you. I'm a bit nervous while writing this cuz it's been a while since we've launched something. I'm mega proud of the team that we are shipping Huddle today.
In short, Huddle is about connecting with the people you feel close to.
We believe relationships come first — the ones we create with our children and those we have with each other. But, unfortunately, somewhere along the way, we've allowed the busyness of life to get in the way of meaningful connections with our most beloved people: our family & friends.
These days, it feels we're in Las Vegas chillin' with strangers every day. That's why we're actively reimagining social media. What does that mean? This means that the why and the how in our communication now carry a new, more intentional weight.
The great thing about the people close to you is that you can be real with each other. That's a different way of saying you can be vulnerable. With Huddle, we want to enhance these relationships using video messages in a private setting. You don't have to follow people you don't know. There's no need to profile yourself a certain way. You can just be... you.
I'm well aware this might be lengthy, but hey, I told you I'm nervous. Or maybe it's because we Europeans are not natural-born storytellers. Either way, we would love to hear what you think of our app and happy to answer any questions.
PS: Here's (https://bit.ly/3xaNwtN) my 87-year-old grandma, aka oma Alie, beta testing Huddle on her iPad. Roughly translated, she's saying, "You are never too old to learn," followed by her great-grandchildren congratulating her.

@nalden 👏 go Nalden and @kevinkalle! I love how thoughtfully you have built this product. And I'm honored that I've been able to huddle with y'all for a while now :)
Beautiful vision and beautiful product. Immediately downloaded it. Love that you directly propose groups like Family, Friends, Spouse, Colleagues...makes it easier to get started. My family is spread across 3 different countries. Excited to try this out!
Congrats on the launch, @kevinkalle @shanegraaf! Now downloading Huddle and can't wait to give it a try.
@kevinkalle @shanegraaf @ashread_ Thanks Ash! Love to hear what you think after using it for a few days. The magic is in the relationship :)
@kevinkalle @ashread_ Thanks, Ash! Let me know if you like to use it and provide some feedback 💯
Congrats on the launch @nalden and friends! I've been using it for some time now with friends, and it's just amazing to be selective about who sees what. ✨
The premise reminds me of Tribe 1.0, which I used with my family back in the day. Thanks for building this. I'm excited to try this out!
@embirico Thanks, Alexander! Would love to hear your thoughts after trying out Huddle.
"We believe relationships come first — the ones we create with our children and those we have with each other. "
Love the mission you're on with Huddle, @nalden
@vedika_jain We simply want that people care about people – an idea so laughably naïve, yet so radically transformative.
Excited to finally see this thing launch! Congrats! I just managed to move my family over to Telegram despite their cyber security concerns (founded or unfounded). Can you speak to any encryption or privacy built in or in the works?
@travisjtodd To be honest, we don't have the luxury to kickstart this adventure with E2E encryption from the start since we're a small team, yet it's a priority on the roadmap for the longer term!
Bravo! I must say I really enjoyed the homepage with the doodle feature :) Excited to use this with my family (PS. is that Benny on your homepage?) Good luck, and to the moon!!
Congrats Huddle team! Sadly, the rest of my family is Android. You can thank my evil brother-in-law for pulling that con over on everyone while I've been off living my life away from Florida 😂😖 So, ready to try with my fam once y'all push a Google Play release. Good luck!!
@ian_chan4 Hi there! Are you still stuck in registration process? Or did you manage to get in?
If not, I would love to help you. Would you mind sending an email to will@joinhuddle.in ? That will speed up the process. Thanks in advance , cheers Sanne
Congratulations @nalden @kevinkalle + team - the product looks amazing, excited to use it with my family and close friends. :)
I use and delete Snapchat and Instagram occasionally (I think 4 times a month), it's one big FOMO experience and I really dislike it. Huddle is the one (social) app I keep on my phone, it's intimate, pure and everyone can show their true self on a good or even a bad day. I am really curious how the app will evolve in the near future!
I hope everything goes well for you.
For me, my family is more important than myself. It's great that you pay attention to privacy. I like the idea of a safe place. I like minimalism.
I also appreciate the memories. I hope I will have access to them in the future. I appreciate the stability.
@andrewmalcolm thank you for the optimism. We’ll do our utmost best to protect that space and intimacy and improve the human connection.
