Hey everyone 👋 I’m Jakob, co-founder of Butter, which we've built to help people run super-engaging, interactive sessions from start to finish.
We’re about to launch Scenes, an exciting new tool for interactive presentations and collaboration which people can use alongside Zoom/MS Teams/Google Meet—perfect for anyone who cares about keeping participants focused and engaged!
We’ve launched on Product Hunt 3x before, and we've hit #1 Product of the Day and became a finalist for the Golden Kitty Awards — so I'm super grateful and excited to do an AMA and share our learnings here!
Ask me anything about building a fully-remote startup, product- and community-led growth, keeping clarity, conviction and focus as a founder, and the future of collaboration!

After watching your product video, it reminds me that I attended a group workshop that the presenter was using butter. I was thinking this is such a fun UI. If you have choose one feature in butter, which one was the aha moment?

@kpoonvancouver Yay that's awesome!
I think it is when people open a tool in the session the first time (poll, Miro board, Flashcard).
Also we're launching something new so don't forget to support!

Hi Jakob 👋🏽
From your perspective, what has been the biggest pros and cons of running a fully remote startup compared to a traditional in-office setup?

Hey Jakob! Curious to know—how big of a role does churn play in your growth strategy? Do you feel confident you’ve nailed down the top churn drivers in your product or are you still in discovery mode when it comes to reducing them? What’s been the biggest eye-opener for you so far?
Hi Jakob, congrats on Scenes—sounds super interesting! Any launch tips as a Product Hunt veteran? How are you preparing for the launch this time around?

Thank you for offering to answer questions! I'm looking to engage more actively on product hunt, and I would love some guidance on building karma and increasing my visibility here. What are some strategies or best practices you recommend for increasing karma? Also, how can I make my product hunt launch more visible and attract greater engagement?

What have you done to make your product appear to all people?
Great! What type of building are you most interested in—residential, commercial, or something more specific like sustainable design or construction techniques? Or, do you want to dive into a particular aspect, like project management, materials, or architecture?
