Teams love talking about their day with Kona for Slack. Kona 2.0 introduces our new web dashboard, helping managers visualize team health like never before.
Itās been a busy few months at Kona. We got a lot of love and learnings from our last ProductHunt launch. Iām happy to say weāve finally built all the features managers asked for!
š„ Shiny new web dashboard for better health visualization and alerts.
š Insightful trends like team comparisons, individual deep dives, and more.
š¼ Support for departments, so you and your boss and your bossā boss can enjoy.
šÆāāļø Kona Friends lets you stay updated on folks outside your direct team.
š Better support for 1:1s to save you time and help you help your teammates.
We had a lot of growing to do since our last launch. Our first version was slower and clunkier, without much support for departments. Now weāre finally at a place where we can make cultural change at entire organizations and companies. Thatās super exciting!
Iām forever grateful for our growing team and for all the folks who supported us every step of the way. We couldnāt have gotten here without working closely with teams at Greenhouse, Coffee Meets Bagel, Happy Money, The Athletic, Postscript, and more.
To thank this awesome community, weāre giving 20% department-wide plans for a year. Just use the coupon code PEOPLEFIRST when upgrading your plan or mention this deal to us during your demo.
Let us know what you think of Kona 2.0! Weāre thrilled to make teams happier and healthier.
Cheers,
Sid

Kona has come so far from the early days of just the three of you running around Startup UCLA with a barebones slack app. The UI looks so clean, and now that we're growing our team soon, Pearl is definitely going to start using it! Every team is going to need a Kona.
(Btw ?makers I'm still waiting on the plushie merch store)
@alec2435 Haha, it's been a fun journey so far! Just the beginning for us and for Pearl :) Glad to hear y'all are growing the team, and excited to hear more feedback on Kona!
As someone who just started a job where half the team is remote, I see the incredible value of a transparent and empathetic culture where everyone, even those far away, feels welcome and understood. Iāve had the honor to witness the teamās failures, growth, and continuous grit since its beginning in 2018 ā and I am so excited for the future of Kona!! š¶
@mahesh_murag Thanks a ton! Yes, after 1.0 we saw a ton of inbound from orgs, which was why we decided to support org-wide rollouts better. Appreciate the support!
I'm in love with the team and product. You can tell how much they care about remote work with the extensive and thoughtful guides that they continuously ship ontop of their product. My favorite one is https://www.heykona.com/team-bui.... Congrats and excited for the road ahead!!
@thehksk That's so sweet! We want to make being a good person mainstream at work - wild thought, right? That's what our content aims to educate managers on - good emotional leadership practices.
@camm73 It is! It's our first time moving off of Slack-only. Our early customers say it's 10X better than V1 :) My personal favorite part is when Kona tells you that you're "trending red" and need to take a break. Through this I personally noticed that I was overworking myself a little bit, and Kona helped me flag it!
In a new virtual world this product is what's needed to connect us like never before!! I personally think the check in and interface is seamless and gorgeous šš„°ā¤
