We all hate sitting in long, unnecessary meetings. Replace all these unnecessary meetings with async meetings! Use your voice and video to communicate effortlessly, on your time. Forget about syncing timezones and instead collaborate with your team seamlessly.
Hello ProductHunt! 👋
I’m super excited to finally launch Minutes today, we’ve been working on it for quite some time with a lot of changes over the last couple of months.
But let me start with a rundown of how we got here:
A few years ago, I was a developer in a remote team, and often had to sit on late-night meetings at 2 or 3AM to fix a thing here or debug something there, because my teammates were in different timezones. I couldn’t help but think if there was a better way to get work done without having to be in these meetings at all.
Over time, I gathered up plenty of reasonable arguments to why sync meetings can slow down productivity massively: be it back-to-back meetings, interruptive meetings, late-night calls, or what have you. My co-founder has a similar experience with sync meetings as well, and we sat together and started ideating on the best way to bring async communication to remote teams!
We started off with a platform to share 1:1 voice and video messages, we did a round of beta testing with it as well, and learned a lot. Then we narrowed things down further, and decided to focus on transitioning sync meetings to async!
From start to today, our vision has always earmarked to “helping people make their work revolve around their lives than their lives revolving around their work”. And by this, we want people to pick the place they want to live in, pick the hours they’re comfortable working with, and let their work adapt to this. Instead of having to shift somewhere else for work, or having to work during hours where you’d rather to be doing something else. And we believe Minutes is a step in the right direction for this vision.
We’ve designed Minutes to be simple and straightforward, so that you can start making your meetings async effortlessly! Do give it a try, and ask us any questions you have, we’ll be active here all day! 🙌
What I love most about Minutes is its asynchronous approach. We can have meaningful discussions and make important decisions without being tied to a specific time or place. It's like having a virtual meeting room that's always open, allowing us to contribute and share ideas at our convenience. @yanchummar @shibinco
Congrats @yanchummar and @shibinco for the superb launch ✨
I was an early adopter of Minutes, and I must say, my experience was quite positive. Having to hop on calls late at night and at odd hours has been a pain point for me, and Minutes has been a good solution.
Best wishes to the team ✨
Congratulations on your launch! Your product is fantastic! The design is super cool, and it's easy to use for remote teamwork. Congrats on a job well done!
Just what I was looking for. Async meetings have worked better for us in the past. We reduced meeting time by 40% on average... now we have the tool to not do it manually (: Congrats to the team
While this tool provides an impressive solution to reduce the time spent in meetings, it could inadvertently miss the immediacy and connection that comes with real-time interaction. Enhancing the platform with options for live interaction, in addition to asynchronous communication, would provide a more balanced approach to team collaboration. Let me know if you think the same.
Another awesome async tool. Async for me, is the way to go especially when giving feedback. You get a Yes from me! 😀
Congratulations on the successful launch of your incredible product! This is a remarkable achievement that showcases your innovation and hard work. Wishing you boundless success as you embark on this exciting journey.
@min Zhou it may well be a 🔑 but it’s still excessive fee! Can we all really justify to £300 a month on different AI tools especially when we’re just starting up. And I’ve actually stopped sharing a lot of suggestions on here because people just Gotta make tools on them and then charge it to use them wouldn’t mind if they gave you free access LOL not saying this company has just a random comment ❤️
