Hello Product Hunt friends! Starting today, we are excited to build in public with you. Lounge is your people-first HQ for remote teams to revive the lost camaderie working in silos. We started Lounge by asking ourselves 'If friendship and love can happen online, why not camaraderie?' In person, our office used to be full of clues that lubricated how we got to know each other, yet today we work in absence of them. Our mission with Lounge is to digitize the effortless clues we used to take for granted with: 👀 Glanceable identity 🏆 Async social 💬 Contextual communication Looking forward to hearing your feedback to inch Lounge towards our North Star - to become the place where teams stay, work, and play together as naturally as we can in person.

Congrats on the launch! It's so cool. So are the categories like Rooms and desks different functionally or differ by the number of people they contain?

@gouthamj That's a great question. Desks are basically your "private" space. When someone enters your room our of blue, you are muted by default for privacy reasons. Rooms are perceived as more of a public space. e.g.) I'd crash a gathering in Cafeteria, but wouldn't do it in case it's a 1:1 happening at somebody's desk.

Congrats on the launch, @alexyoungkwon! One of the biggest challenges in distributed work is capturing the serendipity of water cooler convos and lunch table discussions.

@rrhoover Thank you, and good to hear it from the OG of remote work, Ryan! Today, we can get the work done, but not many would dispute the dilution of camaraderie from working in silos. We are building Lounge to complete the missing half of work that makes teams love what they do and who they do it with.

I'm on this beta and I highly recommend it!! Remote work is far harder than any of us expected. Especially with building team bonds and company culture. Most legacy comms platforms do not focus on contextual info (we are all just a green dots in Slack) and they weren't designed with remote and hybrid teams in mind. Also, Zoom (video call) fatigue is also a very real thing. Lounge feels like it has been designed and built specifically for this new future of work phase we are all in. Especially love the no video component cuz I cringe every time I'm asked (or I have to ask others) to turn on video on a call. It's also surprising how full featured it is for an early stage startup! One really cool feature is the step counting team competition - it displays your step count from phone/watch and makes it into a competition for your team. Primary use case seems to be for enterprises, but I'd actually love to have this for my personal life too! A Lounge for my friends or fantasy football group or even one with my family. Excited to see how Lounge grows and what features are coming next!

@bonam Thanks for being such an early supporter and peer! Startups have crazy ups and downs, and how we grew closer online is the living proof that camaraderie is more than possible online, Bo! Cheers!

Lounge is phenomenal! Been on the Beta for a while now and it makes catching up with remote team members way easier than Slack or Zoom. In addition, the wellness elements they have introduced in the app are a fantastic way to build culture and connection at your company. The Lounge team is top-notch. Highly recommend checking this out.

I'm such a huge fan of the UX which allows for full-context conversations and serendipity. As someone who needs deep think time it's nice to see that signaled within the settings of Lounge.
