Congrats on the launch! really like the concept.
I actually worked on a company where the entire team was working on the rhythm (focus/pause/focus...) of a shared pomodoro timer (a physical one!). It was super productive. Now that we all work remotely your concept is very intriguing.
I wonder if you could remove some requirements (camera, introductions, slot booking) and still have accountability benefits from having other people sharing your focus time.
Nevertheless, cool idea! wish you the best!
I've been a big fan of pomodoro and time-blocking, but for a long time was convinced that it didn't work well for coding until I experimented a bit. Wrote up some of my thoughts here: https://www.flow.club/blog/makers-schedule-2021 Would love to hear if any of y'all try to time block for writing code and will be around to answer any questions!
