Nice idea 😃 I downloaded the app now and here's some feedback. I didn't understand the tagline on here but I understood more after reading the app description. I wonder, are you more focused on "meet friends in groups of friends" or "a fun way to stay in touch with your social groups"?

Love the progress!!!!!!! What features do you have in the pipeline? Would love to see creative icebreakers structured into a game that you can play while in a chat :)

Also what tech do you use for realtime video connection?

Exciting update! Can video chats now be done on both mobile and web?

The feature updates look great, congrats y’all!

Used their product while in Beta during a conference and it was awesome. The mission is great and the founders are top-notch. Will keep on eye on this one for sure.

IV been following the progress and it's amazing to see how the app is turning out!

Glimpse is an amazing product! And very timely too. Will definitely try out its Slack integration1

I get a server error when trying to signup?

Now that fall semester is remote I can see a world where we connect with freshman via a platform like this. Instead of just cancelling networks outright for pre-orientation programs and resources meant to help freshman, this could be a great alternative. Great work squad :D

Thank you @katmanalac 💙!! Hi PH community! I’m Helena 👋, one of the Glimpse founders. We dropped out of Duke CS to build a startup, and it’s come a long way in the last few months. We first left on a mission to build authenticity into our lives through genuine connections: this meant engaging people 1:1 offline for heart-to-hearts. This little covid thing changed all of our plans! Mid-March, we decided to shift our efforts to a fundamental piece of the “authentic connection” user journey: initiation. An amazing start to a relationship can change the course of the (friend)ship significantly. We realized a recipe for a successful first impression included a mix of adrenaline rush and a sense of instant connection. The “missed connection” feeling was also critical in making someone yearn to reach out and continue a conversation. We introduced time-boxed video chat, always 1:1, and never with a complete stranger. At first it was a social consumer product, and then we realized the massive demand as covid was bringing tightly knit communities online -- everyone from business schools to book clubs was now scrambling to build a sense of intimacy online. We found most video platforms to be **tools** to facilitate a conversation. We choose to focus on creating an experience that brings delight, rather than simply enabling you to talk through your screen. Today, we are beyond excited to announce a completely revamped Glimpse 2.0. The huge demand from business schools, conferences, teams, blew us away - enough to launch Web, build special features, and add Admin customization. The screenshots above are just a sneak peak of all we have in store - to get the full spiel join me in the Product Hunt room on Glimpse!! Join me here: https://app.joinglimpse.com/prod...! Excited to chat about community with you:) I want to hear all about your journey in building an online community: what you’ve tried, what’s been frustrating, and what’s been amazing. What feelings are you no longer getting in group settings? Have you found yourself forming new habits with respect to maintaining friendships and meeting new people? Why does community matter to you? Helena, Co-founder

Love the product! this is a great way of connecting with co-workers during the pandemic, specially when everybody is remote. One cool feature would be to be able to extend the time a video call lasts once you are in the call, sometimes we want to say last minute things but the video chat ends!

This is an amazing revamp!! Great work, Helena and team 👏

We used this for teamfinding at VandyHacks, a student hackathon at Vanderbilt University–it fit in really well with the rapid-fire hackathon culture in a virtual setting.

Last month, my hackathon team used Glimpse for team formation and socializing events at two of our virtual events and it was amazing! Seriously such a great and low pressure way for participants to connect with each other face-to-face.

Thanks Kat 🎉 Hey PH Community! I’m Brian, one of the co-founders of Glimpse! My team has been hard at work over the last few months, and we’re really excited to bring you an entirely reimagined socializing experience on video. After spending half a year on video calls (yeah, crazy isn’t it?), we’ve realized that existing products fall short of the valuable interactions we share in real life. Here are just a couple of the issues: - Only one person can speak at a time - No natural side conversations - Inadequate for building meaningful relationships As remote life continues for the foreseeable future, we realized that we needed a solution enabling everything from remote socializing to remote networking to even remote rush! Our latest version of Glimpse Web is designed to do just that. After speaking with community managers, teams, and other Glimpsers, we’ve redesigned our product to improve upon existing video platforms. I’m really excited about some of the features, including: - Typed Rooms: ensure everyone in your community meets the right people (eg. interns meet fulltimers, bigs meet littles, rushees meet members) - Customizable Features: choose the specific features that will help your community connect - Authless Login: allow your members to join without needing to create an account We would love for you to try out Glimpse with your team, your community, or even your family! If you would like to get a “glimpse” of the experience first, join me in our Product Hunt room: app.joinglimpse.com/producthunt Can’t wait to hear your feedback! Brian, Co-Founder

I love Glimpse! Icebreaker games have been really fun on this app and it's so great to be able to call my friends without completely distracting them for 30 minutes!

I love Glimpse!! I use Glimpse every week with friends and with my remote team after the all-hands meeting. In group video calls, it’s hard for everyone to feel included in the conversation. On Glimpse, the one-on-one, time-boxed calls help everyone feel engaged and I always feel like I’ve gotten to know people better afterwards.

The product is amazing!!

We’ve been hosting happy hours on Zoom, and there comes a certain time of night were someone gets drunk and takes the floor for a monologue. The time boxed and 1:1 nature of Glimpse means everyone gets to talk. Super hyped to try it.
