We're Greg & Aaron, and despite all our time at MIT & Google, we still have no idea what "LOL kewl 🍔🚀🐼" means.
Seriously though, we think the convenience of Emoji and Animated GIFs often wins out over more interesting communication. Sure, that’s been ok for a while (and doodling on images helps), but we always feel like we're talking to friends through a cardboard tube. Our goal was to create a more expressive channel that kept things light, fun, and asynchronous.
That's Gather. It allows you to quickly record great-looking video reactions to anything from the new Star Wars trailer to a Tinder screenshot of a potential date. Reactions capture how you actually feel so you don’t have to resort to pandas. Watching friends' reactions makes it feel like they're right there with you.
But don't worry, it's not awkard video messaging. Reactions have purpose because they have context - you're reacting TO something. That said, people need to feel comfortable recording video. We spent a ton of time refining how the videos work to create a high-fidelity communication channel that won't make you freak out because your hair is a mess.
That's one example of our focus on a delightful user experience, but we also thought hard about things like communication workflows, privacy, and security.
Anyway, enough jabbering. Ask us anything! We're dying to know what the PH crowd thinks of our take on async communication.
