👋 Hey there Hunters!
Fran López, CEO at Stooa
🚀 As a part of the team, I'm super excited to share Stooa with you and get your feedback!
It all started during the pandemic. We needed meeting venues for co-creation and sharing knowledge or complex information. We love to debate and share opinions in unconference formats such as fishbowls.
A fishbowl is a great group dynamic that ensures an orderly, free-flowing and participatory discussion.
We love it as it’s an outstanding way of giving all employees or members of an association, community or team the chance to have their say and to get them more involved in the conversation.
More about fishbowls and why Stooa was born: Fran's articleHow to manage a fishbowl online
We first tried it with other video conferencing tools, proposing some simple rules to manage it. Despite the team having technological comfort, the thing didn't quite work. We looked for specific tools but found nothing so we decided to develop it ourselves.
✅ Stooa allows you to set up online fishbowl events with automatic facilitation for groups of more than 5 people and to ensure the participation of all attendees in a fluid and orderly way.
🎉 Now we’ve made it, we are pleased to share it with whoever might need it.
👉 Please enjoy it by visiting https://www.stooa.com/ and we’d be unbelievably thankful if you try Stooa and let us know what was your experience, what we need to improve and which other features you’d need. 😊
Hi @tszhoi_19 !
The main goal we have in mind is to improve the host onboarding, but we also have other milestones:
– Management of Fishbowls
– Management of Host/Users
– Architecture enhacements
– More unconference tools : open space, dot voting, world cafe
– Empowering the onboarding experience
You can check the full roadmap on our github → https://github.com/Stooa/Stooa/p...
@mrfranlopez@merno0sh Thank you for you feedback, Mehrnoosh. We are glad you like it. 😊
Is there any suggestion about the roadmap and new features you would like to make?
@vanesa_tejada Hi Vanesa. Thanks for your comment. It's great to know you enjoy using it! About the recording, I must say it is something that we are discussing in the team but that raises some doubts because of the risk of affecting the climate of trust that is generated in a face-to-face fishbowl, precisely because it is not recorded.
We are afraid of putting at risk the transparency and privacy of the conversations that are generated by the fact that it is being recorded. It is not entirely clear to us, although it is true that it could be done as long as all users agree that it is being recorded. What do you think about it?
@vanesa_tejada@jordihg Can I participate?
Recently I took part in a debate in other plataform that was recorded and uploaded without our permission and it was very disappointing, so I understand the team concern...
But said that: if there is a clear signal (like in jitsi and others) at the beginning of the recording, this problem is solved... and taking care of the privacy don't rely on the organizer goodwill only, so in the end you take better care of the participants trust ;)
One of the online event's advantage is that can be recorded and can reach more people with little effort, don't underestimate that competitive advantage :)
