Feature ideas

  1. 1
    Focus timer
    Pomodoro sessions synced across the room.
  2. 2
    Ambient modes
    Café, rain, library, and deep-focus soundscapes.
  3. 3
    Daily streaks
    Track consistency and hours worked over time.

First-week milestone

A room link that fits 8 people, muted by default, with a synced 50-minute Pomodoro. Streaks and ambient modes are week-two polish.

Distribution playbook

  • Partner with productivity creators on YouTube — host their 'study with me' streams.
  • Reddit: r/getdisciplined, r/productivity, r/digitalnomad love a free tool that ships.
  • Run a free 'office hours' room hosted by a known indie hacker each week.

Guardrails & risks

  • Daily.co bills per participant-minute — gate video and offer audio-only by default.
  • Moderation matters even with strangers — one creepy user kills a community. Reporting must be one tap.
  • Persistent rooms beat one-off rooms; design for return visits, not first sessions.

Validation signal

Repeat sessions in the first 14 days. People who come back twice almost always come back ten times.

Trend

Body doubling and productivity communities are exploding.
