Hey hunters — I'm Chuang. I made Roost.
It’s a calm, shared cyber office for remote teams. Everyone gets a pixel buddy that follows their Slack status. Because it only looks at presence—never your messages—it stays completely non-intrusive and glanceable on a second monitor.
A soft little place to gather, even when you're cities apart.

The pixel-art vibe is genuinely charming, and watching people's avatars shuffle around based on their Slack status is way more satisfying than I expected. Works great as background noise on my second monitor while I work.
The way status updates quietly move people across the map without any message reading is such a thoughtful touch. Cat causing tiny office chaos is the right amount of weird.
Dropped it on our office TV and everyone immediately hunted for their pixel buddy. The little coffee/away shuffles throughout the day are oddly calming.
cute concept, threw it on my second monitor and watched my team wander around. love that the cat visits when someone's on a call
Love the concept, the status-driven placement is such a nice touch for a second monitor. One idea: add a tiny indicator or sound when someone enters focus mode, so it's easier to notice who's heads-down without scanning the whole room.
