I run a company with 20 remote team members. There's a weird perverse incentive to "show face" and be available when working remotely vs. making yourself unreachable so you can focus on things that matter.

We joined the Holopod beta to see if we could reduce the anxiety people had of being "away" without it being correlated with not working.

So far we like it. It helps people feel more comfortable being unreachable for a period of focused work. As a founder, I get a sense that it can help make people do the stuff that matters, vs. wasting time chatting on Slack.

We'd still like to see more features around supporting different time zones (we're spread across 9 time zones, so it can be easy for people further east to just keep working when getting pinged by people further west).
