Surfboard
A daily standup that's easier than learning to standup.
Surfboard is a standalone async standup app — no Slack bot required. Post your did/doing/blockers whenever you're ready. Your whole team sees it. $8/month flat, unlimited members. No per-seat math. No surveillance vibes. No micromanaging.
I built Surfboard because I was paying $40/month for a standup bot that half my team had muted.
The bot would ping everyone at 9am in Slack. Half the team was in a different timezone. The other half had Slack notifications off before lunch. The "standup" became a ghost channel that management checked and engineers ignored. Classic.
So I built the thing I actually wanted: a standalone web app where your team posts async updates whenever they're ready — no Slack, no bots, no scheduled pings, no "why didn't you post today" energy.
Here's what makes Surfboard different:
No Slack required. Every competitor is a Slack/Teams bot. That means you need Slack, you need someone with admin rights to authorize it, and your standup lives in a channel that competes with memes and deploy alerts. Surfboard is its own space. You log in, you post, done.
Flat pricing. Geekbot charges per seat. Standuply charges per seat. Range charges per seat. At 10 people, that's $25–80/month. Surfboard is $8/month for unlimited members. Forever. I hate per-seat pricing for small tools. You should too.
No surveillance energy. Surfboard doesn't track activity, log hours, take screenshots, or tell you how "engaged" your team is. It's just a clean board where people share what they're working on and flag blockers. That's it.
The free plan is actually free. 3 members, 1 team, 7 days of history — no credit card, no trial timer, no "your trial ends in 3 days" emails.
I'm a solo indie developer (hey) — no VC, no growth team, just me building something I'd actually use. Surfboard has been running for a few months with a small group of early users, and today I'm opening it up wider.
Would love to hear what you think, especially:
What's missing that would make you switch from your current standup setup?
Anything about the onboarding that feels rough?
I'll be in the comments all day. Thanks for checking it out 🤙
