Great concept, much to be desired

I absolutely love the concept, but let's face it, there are a lot of people out there that don't truly understand the concept of async meetings. The majority of the working world has their routines and logging in daily or multiple times a day just to see if there are new responses in a meeting isn't going to happen when you're trying to build momentum internally for a solution like this. This really needs some thoughtful notification options. You can't notify every time there is a new reply in the Proposals & Feedback section, but you also can't limit the notifications to when a meeting starts and stops. The one minute limit to the videos is way too short. I guess someone can just record a second and third video immediately, but that's just not a good user experience. You really need to add an audio-only recording option as well. I realize it's a new product, but it doesn't seem like you've put your best foot forward. As I was testing, I decided to create a meeting using each of the templates provided. Formatting in the documents section of these templates is inconsistent and looks unprofessional. The structure of the Proposals & Feedback section needs some rethinking. For instance, I'm trying to get people to buy-in to this concept so when I start a meeting, I need to get the "dialogue" going in the P&F section. So I post several Proposals with the intent of better organizing the subsequent responses. I have to know to enter this in reverse order since the P&F section is sorted as most recent first. Custom sorting or drag and drop of the main proposals might be nice to alleviate this. Definitely need the ability to upload documents to review. At best, you could upload them externally and provide a link, but again, that's not a good user experience. I really want this app to work because I really want to shift to more and more async meetings, but most of the professional world isn't ready for it yet. The more you make it easier to overcome, the faster you'll see people migrate to this type of solution. Best of luck and keep improving.
