This logic is very strange to me...

"Someone can disprove specific claims with hard evidence, but because they did so, the original claim must be accurate."

I don't think "everyone knows" that if a post making baseless claims about you is going viral, and you have concrete proof to dismiss some of the claims, that you should just "keep quiet."

Perhaps in some cases, perhaps not in others.

In this case, the integrity of this forum was called into question, and I think a transparent response is warranted and effective.

But... to each their own.


Thanks for giving it a try, and for the feedback. Keep it coming!


Thanks for the great feedback. This is a focus for us to figure out.


I had a hard time finding Talkshow - looks like they might have shut down (I could be wrong). But there are some relevant comments in that thread; thanks for pointing me here!


Your perspective is helpful; thanks for sharing. That’s a good point about async opening up the possibility of multi-layer threads. We’ll consider that! We’d need to figure out how to do it in a way to help people not get lost. I’ll also think more about if there’s a way to somehow recapture the efficiency from real-time feedback in synchronous voice communication.


Thanks for the encouragement!

That focus for Loom sounds on-point. As you said, those are hard to do and extremely valuable, which further differentiates.

Truthfully, I’m honored that you took the time to comment. I am a big fan of Loom and have been for some time. We pay for and use (and plan to forever use) Loom for some use cases at PingPong (e.g., videos on our product wiki, support pages, reporting bugs in our own product).


Thank you so much for recording with us Jeff!


Thanks for the feedback. Naming is hard!

Is the concern that it may be too easily confused with the game? I'd love to understand your feedback a little better.

We felt that PingPong gives a pretty clear picture of sending something back and forth.


Yes, we plan on supporting Linux soon. We built our app using Electron, so the lift shouldn't be too heavy to get it working for Linux.

I'd love to have your team beta our Linux app when it's ready. Email me if interested. My email is in my profile.


Thanks for the feedback. One of our team's best productivity hacks is using PingPong for standups and sharing our screen to show whatever it is we've been working on. It's incredible for team understanding and engagement. It's like a mini-async sprint demo every day.


Yes, our Slack integration will be in a beta for a few more weeks. Email me if you'd like access. My email is in my profile.
