April 8, 2020 MVP launched 🚀 and it's free for all!

There are several ways to keep yourself busy during quarantine weekends – some do puzzles, others read – personally, I like to develop new product 👨‍💻

It took me three weekends to come up with the first viable product. It is featured on ProductHunt and is free to use, for anyone out there feels too far away from their team during those lockdown days.

Give it a shot!

February 1, 2020 How to keep team cohesion while working remotely?

The current situation forces many of us to work remotely – and maintaining a good team spirit and cohesion can be difficult, especially for teams that are not used to work this way.

We tried a lot of things to stay close and agreed that video conferencing was a good way to recreate what we had when working in the same office – so we've started by using Zoom to create a recurring "morning coffee" meeting. Not mandatory meeting, but always here for anyone to drop by and say hi.

This was great, but it was only a one-time-in-day gathering and then it was radio silence...

That's when we started thinking about a way for those gathering to be more present in our day to day and spontaneous – we were picturing people just moving around in the office and starting talking to each other... but not in real life.

About

Swingby was created from simple frustration: the lack of spontaneous conversation when working remotely. Our mission is to create space for informal conversations and spontaneous collaboration between remote teams.
