We use gather.town at work, although irl work is the best, I never talked as much to coworkers in my life. We can share screen and code easily, we ALL have an office space to be alone, to work together or to have meetings. It’s the best version of work I have ever had. Employees are recruited on the criteria of being able to work remotely, without pain and with communication skills but for us it works really great.
Working in an open space all my life before has been the worst experience ever. Constant distractions, people talking around, phone ringing, ANR headphones mandatory (and not paid by the employer) etc
- KeplerBoy 2y agoDamn this gather.town looks ridiculously cool. I'd apply for jobs advertising this just to experience it.
- shinycode 2y agoIt’s a game changer for me, always an office available for myself or a meeting, async check if someone is available in its office or is in a meeting, when you move into someone’s office the camera and mic shows up (if activated) and cuts of when leaving the office. I wasn’t sure at first but it really gives a feeling of a real office and works great. I prefer it to coming at a real office, more convenient and no 3D gives a nice light sensation

- HPsquared 2y agoThis has been my experience with remote working in general (not specifically gather town). I've interacted with more people since remote working, including those in other offices, clients etc. It's been a massive boost to the amount of contact I've had. I can go on webcam as much as I want too, without it being an issue like in an open office.
