When you're developing a product, you're always going to hear people yell "use the app yourself... dogfood!". You hear it enough that it becomes a cliche, a trope, background noise. We never hear or say that at Volley. Why? Because we all _want_ to use it. It's that simple. After you've sent and received a couple of volleys, it clicks. This is the thing that gets my time back. This is the thing that makes it so my work adapts to my life instead of the other way around. This is the thing that helps me keep in touch with my team in a natural way, not forced and scheduled video calls, not pages and pages of emotionless text. We love using our own product every single day. When's the last time you worked on something like that? When's the last time you used a tool like that?

I love Volley. It is so much more natural than Slack and the transcriptions of all the video messages make it so easy to use, even if you aren't in a place to watch a video message.
Joe Wilson
@preston_lyman thanks Preston. We're working hard to make video a 'less dense' medium for communication. Interactive transcripts are our first big step in that direction.
Owen Fuller
Pumped for this; love making asynchronous connections more meaningful and rich
Joe Wilson
@owen_fuller11 that's what we're all about! Thanks for the support - and keep up the great work at Lucidpress!

This product is the best way to communicate among remote business teams. I started my company as a remote first company, and nothing has been more effective for communication. I love the fact that we can capture body language and emotion better, and that there is a flexible set of interactions from video, to audio, to text. We have used it beyond typical communication to also set up training channels with recordings that employees go watch, then join a conversation with any follow up questions. We also have used it a lot for networking with the customizable link - it's my favorite way to avoid pointless introduction meetings and figure out with new contacts if a meeting is needed at all. LOVE LOVE LOVE. If we haven't met, please start a convo with me at callspencer.com (takes you to volley :).

@spencer_hunts if I click that link will you also offer to sing me a song like Josh?
Spencer Lowe
@brandnewfeel Why not. You start a convo with me, I will sing something.

@spencer_hunts ❤️🎵

Best and most productive tool out there. Can’t say enough good things about it. From 1-1 to stand ups to resume cover videos. Just downloaded it.
Joe Wilson
@thomas_bernal yes! A lot of our teams effectively use Volley for hiring. It's soooo much better than traditional interviews.
Eric Jorgenson
Super seamless asyc video, on mac + mobile!
Joe Wilson
@ericjorgenson thanks for the support!

I’ve been using Volley for a few months for my coaching company, I’ve loved the new dynamic that it brings to our group, and the 2X speed feature is FIRE!
Joe Wilson
@dale_majors We use Volley for all our team communication. So sometimes when we have to jump on a Zoom call or meet up in-person we all think, "why is everyone talking so slow?". The power of 2x is real!
Unseen Powers
I love Volley. Stoked to see it here on Product Hunt! Can’t wait for more from this fantastic team.
Joe Wilson
@unseen_powers thanks for the love

From my own experience, the UI is delightful for an app this young. It already matches up with that of a heavily funded, mature app. Not to mention the concept appears genius. Super excited about the future of Volley!
Joe Wilson
@anotheralexander high praise! Thanks - we are constantly iterating based on a tight feedback loop. Volley users are the best users - seriously, I've never seen a user base be so willing to help make the product better.

So many uses for Volley and every week is something new. I use it weekly for a session that I call #FAQFridays with a colleague discussing the topic of Medicare. I also use it personally with friends and the new features have made having async conversations so easy! Move aside other apps!!
Joe Wilson
@miguel_acero1 your 'volleycasts' are genius. What a great way to share genuinely useful conversations!
Miguel Acero
@brandnewfeel Thanks Joe!
