I've been working on a new idea for the past weeks.
Here is the pitch:
As a remote worker myself I find it hard sometimes to know what everybody is up to. We use Slack internally and that is awesome, however, I usually get lost in channels and often don't know who is talking to who, or who that person is talking to on a daily basis, etc.
So the idea is to have a "Virtual Office" that integrates with Slack and allows you to see in real-time what all your coworkers are doing/communicating with.
Here is the concept:
Do you work remotely? What do you think?
Please feel free to destroy this idea, I would appreciate your feedback :)

Hi Jean, thanks for your reply! I understand your point of view, specially the privacy issue. At the company I work for we are fully remote, and we have and status channel where everybody posts status updates like starting now, taking a break, working on X, in a meeting,.. etc This is not optimal, so the idea was to create a visual tool around this. However I am not sure I am solving a real problem here or just trying to create something cool but that nobody would pay for. I’ll keep thiking/investigating
