Hey PH community

I'm Tom, solo founder of Brightcast launching here on Friday.

I've been building a hope platform that tracks verified global progress across innovation, health, environment, community, peace, etc. The idea came from a simple frustration: the world is measurably getting better by almost every metric, but the news makes it feel like everything is falling apart.

Before we launch, I'm genuinely curious:

If you ve used tools like Zoom or others for anything beyond a simple call, you ve probably felt this.

You either get:

• a heavy interface with way too many settings, menus, and things you don t need

• or a minimal tool that breaks the moment you try to run a webinar or something slightly more advanced

It turns something as simple as start a meeting into a small project.
