Captains take orders from somewhere, no?

Don't shipping companies spend $MMs on fuel every year? I suspect they'd respond to incentives?

Love the vision. Feels like something that can’t get done and isn’t proposed as viable

- if a RE developer tried to do it for profit, they’d get shut down - ironically probably by environmental groups

- govt doesn’t actually build anything audacious anymore

Unless I’m missing something?

Very fast learner!!

Feels like a Slack killer :)

But seriously, we'd solve a lot of issues with internal docs if Slack threads died as soon as they were no longer interesting.

How long have you been doing this? Curious, bc many teams tried something like this but it fizzled after 3-4 months.

(full disclosure, we're building a platform that integrates with Zoom to visualize all these rooms, and who is in them, so people can hop into the rooms where people currently are, and know when someone isn't available before joining, etc. would love to interview you for user research if you're up for it)

Well said.

Curious: what does your current team / company do to enable the real-time ad-hoc conversations that need to happen? Are there conventions or tools that have helped?

(full disclosure, we're building a platform that integrates with Calendar, Zoom, and Slack to try to solve this problem and let people turn to one another in real-time, without interrupting heads-down time. Would love to interview you for user research if you're up for it)

But what do you do for the weeks and months in between? Like, how do people turn to one another in real time?

Curious: do you use DND in Slack or block your calendar in an effort to protect your focus time?

(full disclosure, we're building a platform that integrates with Calendar / Zoom / Slack to visualize who is available, who's in a mtg, and who is in Focus Mode - the idea being to help people turn to one another in real-time, but without distracting people who need to focus.

This ^^

For all the privacy concerns, I'd love to be able to opt to waive them / opt in to groups of people with similar results and exchange notes / personal findings.

And would love to contribute to medical research in a way that's less onerous on researchers.

And of course there'd be some misunderstandings - consumer beware...
