Remotely

Hi ProductHunt 👋 Remotely started with a single idea: What time is it in Mexico and how will I know when Patrick is online? It was an experiment during a hack week to build the simplest possible solution to a problem we faced. At the same time we'd been talking to a bunch of remote teams. From big to small they all said the same thing: we've adapted to working from home but I'm still lonely, I miss the office. We thought everything Remotely does today would be the perfect fit to solve their problems: 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Getting started: There's no setup for your team as Remotely connects with your Google Workspace and shows you everyone in the same domain and where they're based. 🗺 Map: See people on the map. Click their faces to fly to their location. Get useful information on their timezone, activity, and much more to come... 🌒 Dark mode: Let's face it someone would have complained otherwise. We've started using this internally and it's been going really well so we decided to share it with the PH community. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback - or better yet have you onboard as an early user! David

I love reading about products that were developed to solve an individual problem turning into useful tools to help entire communities. Great job! as my teammates are not spread across the globe, I was thinking about using Remotely for private contacts 🤔

Thanks for building this, this is so useful. I also love that it makes you feel you're seeing the rest of your team every time you open a Chrome tab. Congrats on the launch!

I like this a lot. I currently use https://github.com/scotato/sleeper to keep my new tabs clean and non-distracting. But this is a perfect use of a new tab. Gives you a feeling of connectedness with your team around the world without getting up in your face. Nicely done.

Sounds pretty cool especially in present times. Quite a future proof product.

Such a neat idea

Really interesting idea. And opening a new tab is a great in-between time for it!
