sorry to undermine your efforts but someone has to say this: as a Mac user, i won't be paying $100/year for electron app will stick to itsycal, a freeware, "real" macOS app, i've paid $10 for not affiliated, but feel free to check out: https://www.mowglii.com/itsycal/

Understood, right now your meeting notes are not encrypted, but stored in a secure database on our server. We are currently considering two options to make sure your notes are safe: either end-to-end encryption on our servers or offline-based storage for your notes. Thanks for the remark
I was super excited until I saw this; I guess I'll have to wait. Offline storage is essential for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the ability to reach my notes if Hera is having an outage.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, it's not: You can see Hera as a note-taking app entirely dedicated to meetings. It's easy to take notes in meetings, capture highlights or next actions that you can then either export to other tools or easily access in your future meetings.
thanks for explanation! and sorry for me being hostile should say, the automation feature is pretty neat though :)
Really like this, congrats on the launch! To the people moaning about Electron apps... you're not the market. To the people moaning about $100 price... you're not the market. To the people moaning about Mac-only... you're not the market. To the people who missed the value-prop COMPLETELY and think some free taskbar widget is the whole idea... you're not the market. IMO if you're managing 10+ people and have 10+ meeti…

I'm making a bit of a joke here, but the market is plenty huge for this app. Also, not all of Hackernews is developers who have opinions on electron. e.g. Me.
Hu bruno, I really like the project. There was an a comment by someone about $100 for a mac app. We pay for a many mac apps that solves a problem for us and at present meetings are an issue. I have been juggling among apps to solve this exact issue. The alternatives suggested like itsycal and meeter don't've the note taking and template support especially to look at the history of notes in previous meetings. This is…
We will communicate publicly as soon as we take a strong stance.

Hey Bruno - sounds like a cool concept - wishing you both all the best! Just looking at the screenshot (and being afflicted with the pedantry of being the son of an English teacher), would ‘Ready to take back control of your meetings?’ be more usual/a little less clumsy wording-wise? Not that I think what you’ve written is ‘wrong’ - in some ways it’s fresher/more unusual (‘Ready to bring sexy back to meetings?’ :), b…
touché , our french origin is exposed :) We've had this feedback before, I am going to change that, thanks for the suggestion!

Good insight, I agree with you. We have found great fit with co-founders of early stage start-ups and product managers in high growth start-ups. Mac is overly present in this target audience, hence our initial start on MacOS! That being said, it's on us to show users that a well-crafted Electron app can behave as nicely as a native one. Down the road, we might switch to a native app if we believe it would significant…
If you are considering a native version, then you are not prioritizing multiplatform which is Electron's strong point. Why choosing it insted of something like Catalyst? Mind you, I am not against Electron apps on my mac (Evernote user here heh)
2. Meetings, by essence, have many stakeholders. Some (if not most) of the attendees are not on Hera and this is where having our core product mostly web compatible will proved to be useful - we can easily spin up for instance a public page to share the outcomes of your meeting to people not using hera

‘En garde!’/‘Zut alors! Pas de problème, mon ami! (…that’s probably all wrong heheh..) Your English is certainement a billion times better than my French! :) Bonne chance!
why would anybody keep using this, when macOS Monterrey is on the way and it has "Quick Notes" built in ? https://www.apple.com/macos/monterey-preview/
Is it possible that you could figure out a one time price that lets me buy the software? I like the idea of improving my meetings, but try to minimize recurring fees.
Also the price/value seems wonky as I pay $10/month for office365 with a TB of cloud storage
