We made a tool for async All-Hands meetings

(Or really, any meeting that's more "download of information" than "let's collaborate") It's called All Hands, and we've launched today: https://allhands.app The idea is that instead of pressing the big red stop button on the side of your business every week in order to keep everyone up-to-date, you instead schedule in and pre-record the things they need to know. All Hands does the workflow part, lets you include other people (so it's easy to have different people presenting), makes recording easy (all in the browser, no extensions - MediaRecorder is cool!), and then does the…

In plain words

All Hands is a platform for recording and sharing asynchronous informational meetings. Teams pre-record updates from multiple presenters and distribute them to viewers, who can react with emoji and leave comments. The tool handles scheduling, in-browser recording without extensions, and workflow management. It collects anonymous statistics and optional feedback to help teams improve future updates. The service works for company-wide meetings, product reviews, and cross-functional updates.

    Hello Hacker News! We've noticed that many people use Loom to record their meetings in the background, which may prompt some privacy concerns. As a solution, we've built a simple extension that notifies users about the ongoing recording of meetings (without the need for inviting a virtual participant). Additionally, this tool allows for the generation of customizable meeting notes. Let me know what you think about it!

    Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
