One of my favorite parts is how it makes meetings feel more present. Traditionally, when people share links everyone would open them in another tab. With Switchboard, everything happens locally. No need to tab over. 4/

E.g., if you're a PM running a standup or a brainstorm, you can fire up Linear, Notion, Figma – whatever you need for the standup. Anyone can control any browser.
E.g., I use it with companies to go through both analytics dashboards and sales pipelines. 3/

A little late to the party, but , et al are crazy ambitious. captures it well.

the Apple II was built with just 25 employees. since then, we’ve slid into tech incrementalism. today, most software companies are fundamentally unambitious, but Rippling is hiding in plain sight. I wrote about how @parkerconrad is bringing ambition back: luttig.substack.com/p/rippling
