Mike announced we were ready to start using Zapp for team calls.

Before releasing the product to users, we decided to dogfood it—run our regular daily stand-ups on it. What we saw, we didn’t like.

Our app looked like Zoom: you could schedule a meeting, start it, invite participants. But for daily stand-ups it was painfully inconvenient. Yes, our Zoom-like approach turned out to be a terrible fit for dailies—at least for us. Every day at noon, we’d all gather for the call and then (ridiculously) paste an invite link to the messenger, and sometimes even email it around. That’s not the tool we wanted to work with.
