    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! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

    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?
