| Noor is a desktop app for drop-in audio and video chat for teams.
You can download it for macOS to try it right now with your coworkers. -> How it started I've worked remotely for global teams, but in our own team, we sometimes worked in our office, and most of the time from home. This resulted in realizing *how much we lose when we switch from the office*. -> Why we need such app? Let's imagine what you have when you work in-person:
1. You have the office environments (chats, breaks, jokes, games, coworking, helping each other quickly, coming together for lunch, etc) 2. Slack 3. Meeting room Now when you go remote, you only have: 1. ???? 2. Slack 3. Zoom What happened to the first part? Bingo, you lost it!
And you don't even know it can be solved. We solved it. You can use it for anything, such as 1. Talking to the team, instead of just texting 2. Collaborating in any app with one click voice, video and screen share 3. Being present for your junior devs 4. Getting feedback on your work quickly (with the ability to spontaneously enable camera and see their real reactions!) 5. Unplanned meetings, natural gatherings, 1:1s, etc 6. Helping teammates instantly with their code 7. Getting together impromptu in a room to talk, play or hang out 9. Handling emergency situations elegantly when every one needs to be available 10. Non-work chats and checking on teammates It's a whole new world. -> How is it different from Zoom, or apps like Tandem, Around, etc? When we started, these recent apps weren't even released. I've written in detail in https://usenoor.com/faq on how our approach is radically different (and better, because we re-thought how chats should work from the ground-up) Oh, BTW we just launched on PH too https://www.producthunt.com/posts/noor-2 Happy to answer any questions. From remote work Qs or about our tech stack :D |
If Noor is for 1. impromptu voice or video chats, why is it also for 3. doing 1:1s, which are presumably scheduled
