This is not just another API or comm platform, but it’s contextually and provides smarts so you don’t have to. It allows customization, but also out the box, it already covers the bases. They didn’t make something that exists “better”, they made something new “work” and work well. Good luck on PH 🤙

@carpemedtravel Thanks Ken! CarpeMed was one of our earliest customers. We've learnt a lot from their feedback.

Just installed Recess in our Design Buffs Slack group. Let's see what the team things, but so far, it's really cool and easy to use.
Aman Jain
@ckpleiser Thank you Carsten!

Do you have any information on how the data you collect will be used?
Aman Jain
@ckpleiser The data policy is shared on the website teamrecess.com. But at a high-level, we enforce a strict data use policy. The data from your workspace will only be used to provide the best Recess experience for your workspace. It is kept fully isolated with any other Meta product.

Looks promising. However I was wondering - what animal do you have in the avatar? 🤔
Aman Jain
@michal_wysocki Haha! Great question. People love our avatar, but a very common question is - is it a bear or is it a raccoon? It is in fact a bear, but one that looks like a raccoon. So a raccoon-looking-bear 🐻

This is an amazing product.

I love this, I just wish it wasn't in any way connected with Facebook/Meta. Seeing "By clicking Submit, you agree to Meta's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy" once installed and submitting my first response is kind of chilling.
Aman Jain
@lee_fuhr I apologize you feel that way. We're part of NPE within Meta, which runs in an isolated manner from rest of Meta. We enforce a restricted and strict data policy. Your workspace data is only used to provide your workspace members the best experience on Recess. It is fully isolated from any other Meta product.
