> Keep an arm's length away from your camera

> Eye contact is incredibly important for showing others you're engaged and paying attention. Taking a small step back from the camera will decrease the angle between your eyes and the camera, making it seem more like you're making eye contact.

this is actually a really great trick! and straightforward explanation.

thank you, nice project, wondering why you made it a standalone site. are you intending to build on this further?

Thanks swyx, we're glad you enjoyed the site!

It's a standalone site because we wanted people to be able to easily share it with their teammates right before important video calls.

A few people have given us really helpful feedback about more information to include (e.g. setups for different types of remote workers). But we haven't decided how we'd like to build on it further yet. If we did, what would you like to see from the site? / what would be most helpful to you?
