Founder of pingpong here. We built pingpong to prioritize long periods of uninterrupted work so that your team can be more productive. It's made for async communication and can be realtime when needed.<p>For our team, we found that slack was stealing our time and attention, making it difficult to do our best work with the barrage of notifications for things that aren't urgent, inter-mixed conversations, fear of missing out on a conversation because you're heads down, and the green, "presence" dot (aka hey everyone, I'm available to be interrupted).<p>So we made pingpong to be the antidote to its endlessly-distracting, anxiety-inducing nature. If your team feels similarly, give pingpong a spin. We'd love to get some feedback and I'm happy to answer any questions.
