  Eh, if it's my actual core team, like the devs I work with on a day-to-day, then it sounds cool. We haven't yet managed to replace that sense of free flowing adhocness that comes with being in an office together.

    We've been using Gather, it's not the same for sure but it's quite cool to emulate the sense of spatial togetherness & adds some fun elements.

    Yep I think we fail to articulate this well in the site. Flowy is a place for you and your core team (typically 3-8 people that are absolutely critical). The 20% of folks that you spend 80% of your time with, to focus and execute with.

That term is like the truck nuts of the software development world. Maybe they are consciously trying to filter out anyone serious. Kind of like why Nigerian Prince scams are so bad.

  Gah, I just Googled "truck nuts". I thought it was something to do with wheel nuts. I was sadly mistaken. Why would people put that on their own vehicle?

Yeah, when I saw that I thought negatively of the product. I'm not a "badass", I'm a professional that get's work done. This makes me feel like I'm not going to want this product.

  Thanks for the feedback! We have adjusted it to "elite", hoping that it appeals to decision makers but also juniors who want to identify as elite.

Ok, we've replaced their asses with "teams" in the title above.
