@rrhoover Hi Ryan, thanks so much for your comment and upvote. 😊🙌🏼 I started Standups.io because doing synchronous standups just didn't work for me within my team. Async standups are being done by a lot of different SaaS apps and chat bots right now and lots of distributed/remote teams are finding it valuable, but I wanted to take it to the next level: adding the ability to see your teammates regularly regardless of their timezone. Probably you can skip this if you're able to coordinate the time of the video call, but that's not the reality for a lots of teams with members ranging from Tokyo, to New Delhi, to California: in these cases it's just hard to coordinate a call at a decent time for everybody. I feel it is important to see your teammates often, we're usually just associating them to their "chat personas" but adding async video helps them identify theirselves better with the group, which does help a lot to make distributed/remote teams more cohesive and engaged. You're seeing their faces/expressions and listening to their voice more often, which contributes in making a better connection within your team, at least more than just using text (and cool GIFs). The teams that are using Standups.io so far are really liking it 😊- maybe your team will too? Give it a try for free and let me know how it works for you. From my experience, teams that are are more "modern" (age + industry is a factor here) are liking it more, as "Stories" is something they are familiar with, and feel more comfortable doing their standups in that way than just chat. 🙌🏼 cc @tommoor and @corey_gwin

@rrhoover @tommoor @corey_gwin @restrex A cool idea could be use a speech to text plug in and then have an icon bottom right of each video to see the transcript of the video update

@nikolay_siabrenko thanks a lot Nikolay, glad you like it! :) Yes, that's been the case especially between North America and Asia 😊
