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/

#113sorry 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/
I can't really understand the reasoning behind making a macOS-exclusive Electron app. You don't get any of the benefits of making an application specifically made for one operating system, and you don't get any of the benefits of a cross-platform framework.

To the people who missed the value-prop COMPLETELY and think some free taskbar widget is the whole idea... you're not the market. Then who's the market?

And usually there is no better solution because third party integrations to online services (think Stack, Discord, etc.) are limited or aren’t kept up-to-date with official apps.
Or, in Discord’s case, are outright against the ToS and not worth people’s bother.

#118I have been looking for a tool that better connects meetings to notes. I have some local scripting to connect meetings to notes and collect TODOs across my dozens of meetings/week. It looks like Hera could've replaced a lot of my custom setup! But storing in your cloud, and needing access via G Suite is a non-starter. You won't get much for early adopters in top-end enterprise if you need _yet more apps installed in…

I'm sure the founders of Hera know this, but just so there's clear representation here on HN: as a Mac user, I would happily pay $100/year for anything that makes my meetings better. I'd pay more than $100/year. I'd pay $100/year for every person on my team. I don't care if it's an electron app, or 10 lines of Javascript: if it makes meetings better, I'm in.
I think you’re confusing price for actual utility here. I do wish this team luck but they aren’t doing enough for the money, given what $50-100/year per team member already gets you.
