I’ve been experimenting with a lightweight push-to-talk coordination app aimed more at temporary production/event crews than traditional enterprise comms.

The problem I kept running into was that most setups seem to fall somewhere between:

• radios with limited flexibility
• WhatsApp/Discord chaos
• or larger intercom systems that are overkill for smaller/temporary teams

The approach I’m testing is basically:

• instant talkgroups over mobile networks
• quick onboarding via invite/PIN
• support for normal wired/Bluetooth headset buttons as PTT
• temporary operational groups for backstage / camera / logistics / security etc.

I’m also experimenting with things like proximity-based listening groups and an ops-console/tablet view for live coordination.

Curious what people here are actually using today for:

• backstage coordination
• temporary crews
• remote productions
• roaming teams during live events

Are people mostly still on radios/intercoms, or are mobile-network workflows becoming more accepted?
