Hey all, I'm Mo, cofounder and CEO of Noor. We're a team of 4 and we've spent days and night for years to build Noor. It solves all the most annoying problems of team chat apps (eg. Slack). For example: - It's hard to find important messages in the noise - You have to quit the app to focus - Too slow for rapid collaboration with teammates via pairing or voice - Too many notifications - Bloated UI and bugs (scrolling, unread badges, notifications, etc) Noor is also the ideal option for smaller startup teams who thought Slack is overkill/bloated and resorted to WhatsApp, iMessage, etc. We worked on every feature for months to fix these kinds of issues. For example, the Inbox and Focus button sound familiar but in Noor, it works. And it works really well. 8 months ago we launched our beta, and now we're ready for everyone to start relying on Noor for their everyday work. I'm excited for you all to try the app today and let us know what you think! We ship fast, so if you think something is missing, let us know in the comments and chances are we're already building it. 🫡 On behalf of my 3 co-founders and myself, welcome to Noor!

@morajabi very cool! How did you approach, in particular, the problem of other team chat apps being "too slow"?

@rajiv_ayyangar thanks! we actually started out as a similar product to Tandem in 2019-2020, after all that problem was real. Soon after, we realized people will not use multiple communication apps daily and default to where the chat is. So we pivoted in late 2022 and started over. We knew we had to make a really good chat app. It had to solve multiple problems: 1. Be low-CPU and low latency -> we chose Rust and wrote our own media stack in pure Rust rather than using libwebrtc 2. It needed status and presence backed-in so you know when and who is available at anytime at a glance -> we build "presence" area, that you click anywhere and your avatar is present. If anyone clicks on you, you link together and you can talk/pair. if you focus, people can't join you and they'll see you status. 3. It had to solve messaging problems in Slack too, and also solve async work 4. It had to feel fun, lightweight, and allow guilt-free disconnect when needed without quitting the app -> virtual office era softwares quickly became like meeting software and people can't focus on work if there's a meeting/call going on. So by default, even if you're "present" you aren't in a voice chat until people link to you (if you're open and not focused) Screen-shot of our team in Noor right now: https://share.cleanshot.com/k6rX... Happy to answer any other questions, Rajiv! P.S. we've met in a Pioneer AMA in 2020 :)

Congrats on v1 Mo & Co.🎉 After seeing an earlier version of Noor I knew this was going to be a real competitor even then. Keep up the good work – you're going to make it I'm sure
