Hi everyone, My company has allowed us to work remotely since the pandemic and although it's great but I do miss the office small talks I used to have with my colleague. The asynchronous nature of tools like Teams and Slack makes it unsuited for small conversations so after a 2 days hack I created https://www.inoffice.chat.

There are some things that make it different from other solutions.

- It is voice only. The reason for this is because I believe voice is less intrusive than video and not everyone is on their best looks when working remotely.

- No calling concept, you can just click a button and voice chat instantly. I want to make the process of talking to your colleague as friction less as possible.

- See who is talking with who and join instantly. Just like in real office, I'm hoping this would encourage you to talk more with your colleague. I hope you guys give it a try. Thanks!
