Conversations by Thursday — Time for new social rituals for your remote team

PH fam! 👋 The Thursday team (https://thursday.social/) has been quite busy over the last few weeks - working on not one, not two, but three new mixers. Super excited to launch them here today! While working from the office, water cooler chat was a daily ritual for most of us. Though probably lasting only minutes, they played a crucial role in making us feel emotionally connected at work. And to some extent, they even helped deepen trust. Well, we don’t have water coolers anymore in our virtual offices, but we have got something even better for you - our 3 new conversational mixers - ranging from fast-paced chats to thoughtful exchange of ideas. ⚡ Speed 1-on-1s: Fast-paced & engaging. This mixer is 3 rounds, 4 minutes each, like going on a speed dating session, but with your teammates! 🧠 Mindful talks: From appreciation to inspiration, choose a topic and get into small groups for a discussion guided by prompts - 1 round, 12 mins. 👋 Know your team: Relish quality conversations and get to know your teammates better in this 1-on-1 mixer. 1 round, 10 mins, talk your hearts out! Try these out with your team, and let me know what you think of them. Btw, this time we’ve got a spectacular deal for the PH family. It’s a limited-time deal - everything unlimited ♾️ for 1 full year for 🔥 $179 🔥. It’s a $1200+ value deal just for $179 😲 and it expires in 7 days, people… tick-tock tick-tock ⏰ Oh, and just like with our previous launches, this time as well, we built this public PH launch tracker to share our launch data (visitors, countries, browsers, etc.) with you: https://thursday.social/conversa... P.S. I’ll be here all day and will be happy to answer any questions.

So cool! This can definitely bring better vibe, fun, efficiency and tight bound with a team! So nice way to improve time spent at work and feel lively! Big congratulations on the launch! ^_^ I have silly question tho: Why Thursday? :D

Hello PH! Deepa here, founder of Thursday. 👋 It is always a pleasure and privilege to launch here on PH. This one, in particular, has been an exciting launch in the making. It started off by exploring the best formats that spark interesting conversations in a remote setting. We, in fact, experimented with a few on our own team. 😀 Mindful Talks was the toughest one to crack - the experience had to be right on, and the topics and prompts had to be meaningful. I’m super happy with the final product and very proud of my team. They have worked very hard on this and have done a brilliant job. So yes, for me, the speed one is the most fun one, while the mindful one is the most meaningful one. But why don’t you try these out yourself with your team and let me know which one your team enjoyed the most? I’ll be around if you have any questions for me.

Hey! Congrats on the launch! :) Excited to give this a try. Does it integrate with Slack and/or Teams?

Congrats on the launch!! 🎉 Speed 1-on-1s and Mindful talks look like great additions to the product!!

This is amazing, the visual and love how thoughtfully built it is. The UI feels makes you feel like I am gonna take a break and hangout on thursday while I am at work ❤️ Kudos the team, and what god level shipping speed you folks have 🚀

Since we are building a 100% remote team at Blinkstore.in, this product would be an interesting thing to try. Congrats on the launch! 🎉

This looks so amazing! For someone who is working remotely, this is going to be an interesting product. Thank you and congratulations on the launch!

Excited to put this to use! Congrats Nishith and the team - you just keep producing amazing products!

Sometimes it's really hard to become involved into every work process if you're remote worker: because of COVID, because of company's format, your own choice, etc, etc. Hope your product will make sense here, @nishith_shah . Congrats with the launch, upvoted ;)

This sounds great! I’m currently screening tools to socialize in a nice way in our globally distributed team. Will definitely try it out! 🙌

Congrats on the launch @nishith_shah @rucha_joshi8 @shahdeepa! Last time we'd a good time on charades :) Speed 1-on-1 sounds fun, will try that out today!

Hello Product Hunt I’m the designer and maker of Conversations by Thursday. Today we’re launching not just 3 new mixers, but a complete overhaul of how our product works. With the addition of new mixers, we have also added 1-click quick social templates, from fun chai breaks ☕️ to deep Culture Talks 🌍. One for all occasion! I hope you enjoy these with your team. Looking forward to some feedback from this amazing community. 🧡

I like your UI! Somehow reminds me of good old Nintendo games! :) There are benefits in remote work but all the social side can diminish all too easily. I hope this helps on that matter. :) Congratulations on the launch.

@nishith_shah Congratulations on the launch!!! This product is very interesting and I will surely give this a try with my team. All the best :D

I just love the way thursday team come up with really good ideas and ship cool mixers into their product every now and then.

I could see how this is so key for bigger teams. Going to be sending this around my network. Great job and congrats on the Launch.

Wow! As always great UI/UX. You can tell there was a lot of careful attention to detail with the design. Congrats on the amazing product work :)

Hey @nishith_shah this is profoundly amazing, will surely try this & share it with my friends as well... Congrats on the launch.... ;D

Hey Makers! Great product, will definitely need to talk to the team about an annual subscription to your service! :)
