Tandem - A virtual office for remote & distributed teams

No - it's not VR, but it's the closest thing to in-person collaboration!
See who's available right now and what app they are working in. Talk and screenshare in one-click.

Remote teams are becoming more common and video is clearly a way to make individuals on remote teams feel more connected. I’m excited to see innovation in this space.

Tandem is seamless and sleek -- it gets out of your way while you do your work and works well with most apps that I use with my team.
Rajiv Ayyangar
@anvishapai Thanks so much! Unobtrusiveness and sleekness are what we like to hear :)

Wow, awesome to see this at the top of ProductHunt! I was introduced to Tandem right before they changed the name from Wisp. Our team has been using it for about 2 months or so, and it has been a really nice way to start conversations. Working remote, you find that there is this weird social awkwardness over starting calls or wanting a super quick call with another teammate. Tandem has the best solution for that problem from what I've seen thus far. The team works hard and cares a lot about customer feedback which is awesome. Keep it up!

@averycarter Your feedback has been 👌super helpful! Keep it up and we'll keep making Tandem better.

This looks neat. I'm running nohq.co and would love to try this out and possibly cover it? Feel free to get in touch with me, my Twitter DMs are open.

@dqmonn1 awesome! DM sent.

Congrats on the launch! The experience reminds me a lot like Discord—when I'm playing games, I'll usually idle in a room and people will come in and join. This is clearly more geared for work with video, screenshare, and active apps but the core value prop of encouraging more spontaneous communication is similar. Excited to see more stuff being done in the future of work space as teams become more distributed :)

Hey @andrew1! Totally. Discord has been a huge inspiration for us and we used during the first few days of Tandem. We convinced a few teams to use it with our own setup designed for companies. Then Tandem was born from those learnings. But you see how we translated other concepts apart from rooms; games for us are work apps, so we broadcast which apps your teammates are working on and you can join the party :). Like the good'ol LAN party days 👾
Andrew Ng
@bernatfortet Haha yeah, first thing I check when I open Discord is the right sidebar to see what my friends are doing :) Curious how you think about Discord being used in this space even without the work-specific functionality, I know some remote teams that are using it as-is today. Maybe something to talk a bit more offline ;)
Rajiv Ayyangar
@bernatfortet @andrew1 Definitely a rich topic for offline conversation! We took lots of inspiration from Discord, but when it comes to work and professional teams, there is a big difference in use cases.

Plans for a Basecamp integration?
Rajiv Ayyangar
@caleb_delbegio Absolutely!
Bernat Fortet Unanue
Hey @caleb_delbegio! It will actually will be released on the next deployment (this week or Monday). So stay tuned for it :)
Caleb Del Begio
@bernatfortet Cool - look forward to trying it out then!

Seems great product. will definitley use it
Rajiv Ayyangar
@slideteam glad to hear it! 👍
Benni Ciriacks
Nice idea, unfortunately we experienced audio dropouts. Also the screensharing & video performance kills the CPU, compared to Zoom.
Rajiv Ayyangar
@bennigo Sorry to hear you had audio and performance issues. We are investigating and will reach back out to you soon. In general we find the performance and call quality are comparable to, or better than Zoom, but this doesn't apply to every hardware / connectivity situation. We will figure out what happened in your case. 🙏Please give us another chance!
