    There's a golden opportunity for the next few months, available to anyone, for providing some sort of Internet-delivered social outlet which doesn't feel like a work meeting over Zoom call. (I think that's one reason Clubhouse seems to be taking off so much.)

        This isn't just an opportunity for B2C startups; it's also yours for the taking for improving a professional network, getting a job, kickstarting or invigorating a community, etc etc. Your "target market" has more screen time than ever and is hating their median use of it.

        You could literally do nothing more advanced than cold emailing people who you'd assume would ordinarily not reply and offering a 15~30 minute something-completely-different conversation. That would probably work even more than it did in January.

        Two interesting experiments I've seen in this space: https://theonline.town/  and https://with.so/  Neither one feels like they've nailed it to me, but they're both interesting approaches that have promise.

        Just thought of building something like a cross between these. What if there was a virtual 3D space where your head was just on an avatar and you could walk around and see/hear those within “earshot”? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Seems to be a lot of opportunity to make the remote work experience even better in newly imagined ways by combining existing tools like video, chat, whiteboards, meeting rooms, etc. Maybe even VR.

        I've been thinking about this a lot, especially w.r.t. you and @visakanv. The best new discoveries will be from groups of people that are weird and open and experimenting and improv-ing and trying things. I think this is a place where great things accumulate to those who try.
