We made a virtual office for our remote team ๐Ÿ“

lemlist team is a remote-friendly from day 0.

Half of the team works remotely.

That's cool, you can work from everywhere. And that's the main reason why we could build a cool French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท-Serbian๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ-Ukrainian ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ team.

But.

It's still super hard to work remotely.

  1. We can't go for lunch together
  2. Can't just come to someone's desk and ask questions
  3. There is no "office" spirit

Aaaand we solved it!

Our CTO spent a few days and made a virtual office:

  1. Each dep has its own space
  2. There is a ping pong ๐Ÿ“
  3. You can talk to ppl when you're around

Yes, we even have a conference room and when you enter it, you automatically join "Zoom" team meeting

p.s. went to make my desk awesome ๐Ÿ”ฅ

    This looks so cool! We have created a communication tool to get to know each other better as we are remote but your idea its really cool. Enjoy your new office!

      Hey Alexandra! How is your team getting on with your communication tool? We're launching https://orbital.chat and we'd love to have your team try it out if it feels like a good solution for you!

      We've just launched a virtual office like this at https://orbital.chat. Can I show you around sometime?

    2. 1

      We'll think about it ๐Ÿ˜

    This is super super cool. Can we please have access to it? The DelightChat.io tribe is completely remote and something like this would really give us the feel of working together in an office.
