Greetings, HN. We got the idea for this during our years of building a large virtual community of remote workers and wanting an easier way to create bespoke online places for people to connect and meetup around a specific purpose or theme. Kind of like MySpace meets Zoom.
*We wanted to make it easy to do three things really well:*
1) Create rooms on the fly that others can join with just a browser
2) Heavily customize them to a specific purpose or group
3) Have fun designing and being creative (the Internet needs more creative spaces we can make our own)
Every room has the following (and more):
- A front door that can be left open or closed
- A dedicated URL that can be shared for easy access
- Simple theming and design tools
- Customizable background music
- Slack notifications to a channel or DM when people show up
I linked this to a "neighborhood" so you can see a collection of rooms in one place. This view helps to inspire what is possible when you create a group of spaces.
workfrom.com/try requires sign-up though, far from "Create rooms on the fly that others can join with just a browser", is it possible to try it without signing up? (maybe with limited features?)
