Hey Product HuntπŸ‘‹ I’m Jay. I’ve been a proud member of the PH community for 7 years and this is the very first time launching my own product here. Super excited! πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ Why Launching Tape πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ It has always been always my dream to freely choose which city, country or even continent to wake up the next morning. Although the pandemic has moved remote work to a whole new level, most of us still can’t do it unless we are on vacation. Our goal is to create software that helps people who want the same to overcome whatever obstacles they may be facing. Eventually, you and I, we all can have the freedom. Today, we are launching Tape - A much less interrupting yet powerful way for teams to share, discuss and collaborate. We want creative people like you to spend more time creating and less time in meetings. No matter where and when you work. πŸ“Ό Tape lets you communicate asynchronously with your team by recording (or uploading) and exchanging videos of your screen and face in threads with only two clicks - No installation required🚫. Unlike other screen recording tools, you can keep all conversations and context for each topic in one place at ease. If your conversation needs more than just a one-way message and it is worth keeping track of it, Tape is just the right solution for you. Let’s say you found a bug. You would record a quick video on how to reproduce it. With Tape, the engineer can also reply back to you with a video to show you that it is fixed in the thread. πŸ’ͺ Here are what you can expect from using Tape βœ… Working together on your own time βœ… Keeping track of all context for each topic in one thread βœ… Minimized interruptions - Clearly assign who to follow up for each topic and track all your follow-ups at a glance in the β€œInbox” βœ… Fostering transparency βœ… Sharing conversation with anyone through a link and getting replies back Eventually, you can spend far less time communicating and far more time creating. πŸ‘‚ We love to hear what you think! If you are interested in what we are doing or if you want to talk about what you are working on, please feel free to talk to me. I’m a person who just can’t stop loving and caring what others make as well.

@new_user_216665470693f You should 😁 (He is one of the makers)
Theo Gravity
Congrats to the launch! I can see this as a useful tool for sharing design feedback - having the threaded video convos will help keep context and give a human element to critiques as it's hard to convey tone and voice in text and I've seen situations where someone may take what someone is writing the incorrect way.
Jay Song
@theogravity Thank you for your comment, Theo! Yeah, you got what we are trying to address! But before recording video was so much work but with Tape it's just a 2-click thing!
JeongSu Yun
@theogravity Hi, Theo. You are absolutely right! As you clearly pointed out, writing can possibly be misunderstood since it lacks that tone and voice! There's a famous saying, if I'm correct, "a picture is worth a thousand words." Then, how much is a video worth? 😎
Rucha Joshi
I fully believe in a-sync work while remote and Tape seems to be a great tool for that. Congrats on the launch @jaythesong
Jay Song
@rucha_joshi8 Thank you for your comment Rucha! Thurdsday looks great as well. I respect your works to make remote work better. πŸ’ͺ
JeongSu Yun
@rucha_joshi8 Hi Rucha! Yes πŸ˜„ Tape is a great tool for working remotely. You can easily record video or audio or even a text clip to share your recordings! (sharing is even easier!)

I've used this product for my team. It is very easy to use. Our team is currently doing remote work and Tape is quite helpful in organizing our communication!

Meetings are a pain for any orgz, this is why we don't do any at Crisp. What jay is doing is a super way to make organizations and internal collaboration much more powerful. Haven't been using the product yet but I'm pretty sure it's super powerful!
Jay Song
@ant0ine_gt Hey Antoine, thank you for your comment! Please try Tape. You won't go back to the sync days! Thank you for empower us with the abilities of engaging with the customers anytime anywhere!
Seung Oh
I've used this tool couple times and found it really convenient. The video message I received was clearer than text messages I usually get because I could feel the nuance of the sender.
Jay Song
@seung_oh Thank you Seung. Video can be much better than text in many circumstances!
Ankit Sharma
I had tried it in January and it is really helpful. Thanks and Congratulations 😍
Jay Song
@ankitsharmaofficial Thank you Ankit πŸ™πŸ»
Robert Knight
Great to see another async communication tool, but this one feels different. This one, as it says on the description, is a threaded video messaging app in which my team can organize our conversations by topics. We need this!!!!, since we've already got too many slack channels to keep track of our knowledge-based conversations.
Jay Song
@robert_knight2 Sir, you got it so right.🫑 This is just beginning and there are a lot more to come to save you from interruptions!
Brian Woo
Good idea, great execution! Thanks to everyone involved :)
