This is great. One of the biggest challenges I find with WFH is the lack of serendipitous communication/idea flow and the sense of loneliness that comes with being by yourself all day. While remote work has many benefits and the principles make sense, it would be great if some of the positive's of office work could be recreated in remote work

Potentially there are software solutions that help solve these issues?

Hey, our team builds and uses Remotion (https://www.remotion.com/), which is really great at enabling those spontaneous conversations that you might be missing from a traditional office. You might call a coworker to ask a quick question (e.g. "where was that file we were talking about last week?") and because it feels so frictionless to get into a call, you're more likely to have more social, casual chats. It's more 1-1 chats and fewer entire-team meetings where it's too awkward to ask someone about their weekend. Try it out!
