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.<p>-> How it started<p>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*.<p>-> Why we need such app?<p>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)<p>2. Slack<p>3. Meeting room<p>Now when you go remote, you only have:<p>1. ????<p>2. Slack<p>3. Zoom<p>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<p>1. Talking to the team, instead of just texting<p>2. Collaborating in any app with one click voice, video and screen share<p>3. Being present for your junior devs<p>4. Getting feedback on your work quickly (with the ability to spontaneously enable camera and see their real reactions!)<p>5. Unplanned meetings, natural gatherings, 1:1s, etc<p>6. Helping teammates instantly with their code<p>7. Getting together impromptu in a room to talk, play or hang out<p>9. Handling emergency situations elegantly when every one needs to be available<p>10. Non-work chats and checking on teammates<p>It's a whole new world.<p>-> How is it different from Zoom, or apps like Tandem, Around, etc?<p>When we started, these recent apps weren't even released. I've written in detail in <a href="https://usenoor.com/faq" rel="nofollow">https://usenoor.com/faq</a> on how our approach is radically different (and better, because we re-thought how chats should work from the ground-up)<p>Oh, BTW we just launched on PH too <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/posts/noor-2" rel="nofollow">https://www.producthunt.com/posts/noor-2</a><p>Happy to answer any questions. From remote work Qs or about our tech stack :D
