Hi folks!
I joined a company a few months ago. From the 16th of November to the 31st of December 2020 I've spent 20 days in meetings. I started to decline most of the meetings to avoid being overwhelmed by them. But then I started to notice that my team is also impacted by meetings.
I decided to do user research and this is a problem known by others companies, so that's why I decided to start building a little solution.
I don't know if it is the best approach but I built a little MVP that gives you an estimated cost of the meeting every time you are invited to a meeting or you organize a meeting. If the meeting seems too expensive we will invite you to cut the meeting and send an asynchronous video with text to your colleagues.
You can also record video and write some texts with it if you just want to update your team.
From a technical standpoint, I'm a new engineer (I did a quick Bootcamp), so it was not easy to build. I had a lot of fun building it, and I'm really excited by the problem so any feedback is welcomed as I would like to iterate to build something love!
ps: if you don't know who to update, feel free to send me a little video at [email protected]. Then you will have the possibility to access the cost-meeting feature.
ps bis: by trying to get the estimated cost of the meeting you won't be able to stop receiving notifications by yourself. Please contact me at [email protected] and I will make sure you won't receive any more notification
