Show HN: Inoffice – Voice chat for remote teams to encourage small talks

Hi everyone, My company has allowed us to work remotely since the pandemic and although it&#x27;s great but I do miss the office small talks I used to have with my colleague. The asynchronous nature of tools like Teams and Slack makes it unsuited for small conversations so after a 2 days hack I created <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.inoffice.chat" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.inoffice.chat</a>.<p>There are some things that make it different from other solutions.<p>- It is voice only. The reason for this is because I believe voice is less intrusive than video and not everyone is on their best looks when working remotely.<p>- No calling concept, you can just click a button and voice chat instantly. I want to make the process of talking to your colleague as friction less as possible.<p>- See who is talking with who and join instantly. Just like in real office, I&#x27;m hoping this would encourage you to talk more with your colleague. I hope you guys give it a try. Thanks!
