> Maybe for things like "ship war rooms" for product launches, or during holiday sale event for e-commerce websites?
That's interesting. If the use case is meant to be during one-off or exceptionally busy periods, do you anticipate team members having these on their desks the whole year round?
That's for the founder to figure out. I imagine that with a 'pivot' on the scenario that the product is being built for, there would be change in its form (both hardware and software).
But this comment makes me think, why this product cannot exist as a mobile walkie-talkie app?
When "war" comes, the "army" launches the app and are plugged into the dynamic war operations, using a headset. When the war is hopefully won, everyone goes back to their peace time apps - Email, Slack...
This market is pretty well covered by Zoom etc al.
Nextel used to eat well off the PTT feature of their phones. IIRC the stickiest users of that seemed to be more blue collar folks -- construction crews, tow truck drivers, etc. I assume this is because they tended to be in environments where typing was harder and hands were otherwise engaged? It was also before widespread deployment of touch screens, so it was more competing with T9 or a full phone call than a 2024-style text message.
