Thanks a lot @benln for hunting us! 🫑 TL;DR, watch a live demo here: πŸ“Ό https://app.tape.ooo/taperlabs/s... Hey Product Hunt! I'm Jay. I'm building πŸ“Ό Tape with the conviction that it is the missing piece in modern workplace communication. πŸ“Ό Tape is an online space where teams can get things done using asynchronous video. From sharing work with clarity, exchanging thoughtful feedback, and getting work done - you can do it all with Tape’s simple and intuitive interactive features designed for collaboration. 🀫 Synchronous communication, which was established when everyone worked in the same place at the same time, simply isn’t answer for all anymore. In fact, it’s always been pretty overrated. While it's great for spontaneous discussions, taking a moment to think, research, and respond thoughtfully is more beneficial in many more cases. Since our initial launch, we have talked to and learned from many users in the Product Hunt community. Thank you all for your support. πŸ™πŸ» Without it, we wouldn't have been able to make as much progress with Tape. One key improvement was in the area of "interactions." Our early supporters wanted to do more than just share recorded videos, but existing tools like Loom lacked the necessary collaboration and interactive features. We rapidly experimented with new features, and now our users are utilizing Tape on a daily basis to replace an increasing number of meeting types. πŸ’ͺ Examples of Tape’s interactive features include: πŸ“Ό Video replies πŸ’¬ On-video comment & emoji πŸ–Ό Embed anything - Calendly, Figma, Codepen and + πŸ“Š Poll πŸ“œ Notion like text editor Examples of meetings that our users are replacing include: 🎨 Design review : Teams can share their work with clarity and receive insightful feedback πŸ€” Complex discussions : The asynchronous nature of Tape allows for more time to fully understand and prepare for conversations. 🧐 Bug reporting : No more β€œHey, can you show me how to reproduce the bug?” πŸ§ͺ User testing : No need to get all team in the same room βž• All hands, Internal seminar, and more Now it's your turn! A quick tip: Utilize the framework(in the gallery) that I created after speaking with hundreds of individuals to determine which meetings can be replaced by Tape.

@benln @jaythesong I cannot tell you how much I love these async work approaches. I often work in corporate settings where meetings are helt all the time. Having an easy async work tool often makes things way easier. I would be interested how you differentiate from others in the space?

@benln @jaythesong Congratulations on the launch! great product for distributed teams and client communication (my primary use case).
Jay Song
@markus_sigel Hey Markus, thank you for your comment! Good question. Tape's interactive features, tailored for video, make all the difference. With other tools like Loom, when you try to do more than just share information, it can be awful as you always have to go like "Hey, can we make a change on the part showing second from the top right at the video you sent from 02:35?" But with Tape, you can just write a comment right on the video! And there are a lot more features that you can enjoy to actually "Get work done".
Jay Song
@swapdp_01 Thanks, Swapnil! Yeah, our users love using Tape when they talk to their clients. What they are saying is that it saves a lot of time as they can have more thoughtful communication, which reduces unnecessary iterations.

Feels like this could be game-changer even for teams who already do a lot of async communication. We record and share a lot of videos using Loom, but always find ourselves falling back to long comment threads off the back of these, or polls in Slack to up the engagement. Having all of that in one place would be so useful.
Jay Song
@jorburn Wow, Jordan, you captured the beauty of Tape perfectly! Was my demo that great? πŸ˜‰ I recommend trying out Tape for a specific use case first. We've seen users expand their use cases over time. For you, I suggest sharing design work and exchanging feedback.

Brittany Joiner {Britt the Builder}
I've sene this before and had on my to do list to try out, but was working for a company that didn't really do much with async video. Now however, we're big loom users, and I wonder if this would be a better alternative! Going to give it a try.
Jay Song
@britt_joiner Thanks Brittany! If you are using Loom with your team, Tape is better as it's more interactive. While Loom is good enough for sharing information using video, I bet that when you try to exchange feedback, have a discussion or make a decision, you have to do it somewhere else such as Slack or email. This can be as bad as it sounds, as all the context can get scattered and your team may end up wasting a lot of time due to miscommunication caused by that. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

This is the perfect answer to the meeting that could have been an email! Congrats! We at Adstra love saving time and this seems a great tool to do it. What feature do you feel makes you stand out the most?
Jay Song
@alternative_potato Thank you for the kind words! It's great to hear that Adstra values saving time, and we believe that Tape can definitely help with that. Regarding your question, Tape's interactive features are what makes it stand out. We've been talking to our users both active and churned and quickly realized that what others and Tape were missing was interactions that feels just right for video. I truly believe this will answer your question in 15 secs! https://app.tape.ooo/taperlabs/s...
