Spinach.io for Daily Standups — Faster, more-focused daily stand-ups

Looks cool. Is it a Zoom app? Right now my small team and I meet every morning for 20 minutes over zoom just to catch up and see what everyone’s working on. How does this improve our current process?

Looks pretty interesting, especially as you are scaling teams in a remote environment. Congratulations 👏

@talmixed Congratulations for the latest Spinach launch. Exciting...! We have a geekbot set-up on our slack that reminds us and ask for the daily status. It automatically gets posted in our slack channel and so, everyone's aware of what we have been working on daily basis. Is Spinach something different than that? If so, interested to know more on that.

Congratulations on the launch! I strongly believe intentional, agenda-driven standups are the best way to do them — by a longshot. Teams with great standups will deliver so much faster. What's the most surprising thing you guys have learned about your users?

« Meetings are the drain if your day » yes, yes, and yes! Slick product folks. Will definitely take it for a spin at tl;dv 🔥

@talmixed this is such a great innovative solution for the age-old problem of effective standups. I already shared this internally with our teams to explore. You also deserve a mention on my Weekly SaaS Hunt live stream this week ⭐️

👋🏼 Hey Product Hunt I’m Matan, Co-founder and CEO of Spinach.io. We're on a mission to build healthier meeting habits, starting with Spinach for Daily Standup. We are officially out of beta and are so excited to launch Spinach today. Thanks to @mwseibel for hunting us! Why Spinach? A great daily standup can save dev teams hours of confusion and misalignment. But the problem is that most standups we’ve attended and observed aren’t that great. People aren’t always prepared, it’s hard to stay engaged, one person does all the talking, people tune out, random topics drain the clock, and there’s no record of daily progress. If any of this sounds familiar, read on… How Spinach works 🥬 Before standup Spinach reminds you to prep in Slack. Each person enters their updates in Spinach. Writing helps you articulate thoughts more clearly, saving time during the meeting. Jira integration allows you to link your updates to specific Jira tasks 🥬 During standup Spinach rotates through each person so there’s no fumbling with “who goes next” You can see each person’s update and how long they’ve been speaking Have something to discuss? Don’t interrupt! Add it to Team Topics and Spinach will bring it up at the end to keep things moving. 🥬 After standup Spinach keeps a summary and automatically posts it to Slack. You’ll have a record of all of your previous standups in the app. 🥬 Async friendly If you can’t join, your update can still be “in the meeting”. Or the team can skip the meeting altogether and just post updates directly to Slack. How to try it Try: Go to Spinach.io and try it for yourself. No demos. No credit cards. Share: Let us know what you think! Have friends who run standup? Please tell them they can get time back every day with Spinach.io Save: Free forever for one team

My team of 14 have been using. Spinach for a few months now while it was in Beta! What a superb product, with a negligible learning curve!

Very interesting solution for people who want to quickly build and launch an app without too much tech hassle. I've experimented a lot with different products and am looking forward to checking this out.

Congrats on the launch Team Spinach! We at Zuddl have been using Spinach for our daily standups and have only good things to say about it. Has saved us a lot of time and kept the meetings to the point.

This sounds really interesting. This is one of the problem statements which has existed for a long time, but not given a lot of importance. I believe, this can help a lot of teams to streamline and save hours. Will definitely give it a spin.

Congrats on the launch! Seems like a good tool for organizing standups.

My team and I have been using Spinach every single day for four months now. It only took a few minutes to get setup and has really improved the quality of our standups. It encourages us to take a few minutes to write down our updates so our standups are always well structured and thoughtful. I would recommend it to every team.

We're big fans of spinach - our team loves and uses it every day!! It has considerably shortened our standups, kept them more focused, but also helped us get to know each other better through the ice breakers.

Our team is spread from Northern California to Kazakhstan, and everywhere in between, and we found ourselves kind of just going through the motions during daily stand ups. Since we started using Spinach, we've had more meaningful and productive standups that are both a better use of our time and have helped us understand one another's work better. And the team at Spinach is great about wanting to keep the feedback loop open. Highly recommend this product if you're looking to get more out of daily standups.

Love it! We use it at AudioLabs. Spinach makes our daily meetings much more efficient with trackable key takes and action items. Waiting for more updates💪🏻 @tomerdean check it out

My team of 6 thought we already had efficient startups, but we have seen even more gainz and growth since we started using Spinach 7 months ago! Here's what we've loved: 🎯 Focused: Our discussions are more crisp and clear ⌚ Fast: Our Stand-ups went from 15 minutes -> 7 or 8 minutes on average. 🎉 Fun: Ice breakers bring a sense of play, connection, and levity to our daily vibe 📝 Forever (because, alliteration 😝): Documenting stand up minutes + sharing with broader org is extra easy

From the ice breakers to being able to upload Jira tickets, it has given a fast and entertaining dynamic to the daily

Our team(19 members) is using it for last couple of months. It helped us to bring a structure into the daily scrum meeting and cut down the meeting time significantly(~45 minutes to ~25 minutes most of the time). Strongly recommended.

Great idea. I hate standups so much 😅 maybe this will help
