I love https://gather.town as a tool for remote teams.

· Bits and Bobs 12/2/24

Before using it, I didn't "get it."

"We have Google Meet for VCs, why do we need this thing with a bunch of random cutesy features?"

But trying to put it in a box was making me miss what it did that is outside of my preconceived box.

Gather is a thing that as a primary use case does a pretty nice job of VCing with team mates.

But as a secondary use case, it does a delightful, inspiringly well-crafted job of recreating the serendipitous magic of an actual office.

That secondary use case is where all of the magic is.

The tool seems like a toy at the beginning, but as you dig deeper you're consistently impressed by the magic and fun and craft of it.
