Great product, works well, but can't see the need for this to be a monthly cost. Should be a one time purchase
You're not the first to comment on this! Consumer SaaS is still growing. We'd like to fall into the category of apps like Superhuman, Vimcal, and Fantastical.
The way I'm addressing the problem for this solution is by having an OS-level / window-manager keystroke to open a new Chrome tab with Google Calendar URL. For example, you can accomplish this by adding following lines to your i3wm config:
bindsym $mod+F1 exec google-chrome "https://www.google.com/calendar/render"
bindsym $mod+Shift+F1 exec google-chrome --new-window "https://www.google.com/calendar/render"Earlier quoted context omitted.
Doesn’t MacOS already have an elaborate notification implementation? Would not integrating with that work?
Many people have the notification center on Do Not Disturb indefinitely. It's noisy and unactionable for a a lot of people, including myself. We want to integrate deeply into SaaS platforms to provide one-click access to features within those platforms. For example, viewing and resolving comments on a Google Doc. This just isn't possible through Mac's notification center.

Thanks! As I mentioned in the note, the pricing is intentional to validate our product. If it helps, we just rolled out a referral program that gives you two free weeks for every friend that signs into the app.
Totally understand, and I really do support you guys in your journey! Maybe consider offering a business (or family) license where you can buy multiple seats for slightly cheaper?
We also have a referral program where you get two free weeks for every friend you bring to the app if that helps
I started using Superpowered yesterday and it is great! (I'm so tired of waiting for Google Calendar to load!) One feature request: it seems like it's not possible to create new calendar events using the app. I assume this is on the roadmap?
Pro tip: for b2b sales, generic productivity enhancing tools are often discovered organically by high-load SME C-suite folks and they’ll decide they want their entire team to have it. If I was in that role then I’d be thrilled not just to save time but to save all the time I spend waiting for my team members to find the link, log in, etc. Maybe you could run the math on how much time is saved and its value.
I tried Superpowered and liked it! Congrats on building a cool product! I see the value in having calendar alerts on your menu bar. I am real bad at remembering meetings and find the default alerts to be annoying or forgettable - I recently got an Apple Watch that has helped a lot with this though. I was a little surprised there was no free version with premium features - in my mind, the main benefit of alerts in my…
Trying to be constructive, but why would it even be a subscription model? Although it looks nice, I would think twice even spending 10$ once for it (mostly due to our currency's value). Also, since it's an Electron based widget, is the memory overhead considerable for just a calendar widget? Also, how does this YC Launch work? Does not seem related at all with your original idea (not sure if it's a deal-breaker thoug…
> since it's an Electron based widget, is the memory overhead considerable for just a calendar widget?
Great question. In my menu bar right now, the app's using ~150MB.
> Also, how does this YC Launch work?
Every startup in YC gets one YC Launch where they're featured on the front page for the day. Doesn't matter what idea was applied to YC with, just what the startup's currently working on.
Execution here is great. High level of polish. The pricing is a little hard to justify, you might want to consider segmenting your plans. 1 meeting per day personal plan, etc? Team features would help justify the price.

That's a great idea. Our current approach is bottom-up. We found people sharing it with their teams organically so we rolled out team plans to get more people on board. Open to other suggestions if you have experience!
