I really hope you're willing to share some metrics on your findings in regard what you said somewhere below was this exploration of the level of pain you're addressing. I would think that churn is going to be high and one of your bigger challenges unless there's stickiness that I don't see.
Are you worried about iStat Menus, Bartender, Alfred or Better Touch Tool adding your product as a feature? Is there a hard problem that you've solved that they'd face in replicating the idea?
FWIW, what I'd personally love is a physical stoplight on my desk with Green-Yellow-Red lights for whether a meeting is coming up. It should have a hotkey that launches the meeting. For that I might pay $10/mo.
Yeah definitely! On average, our users use Superpowered 10 times per day. It's an ingrained part of their workflows.
It's not only a single button to join a meeting, but it's also the ability to peek at your calendar without opening a tab. That might sound minor, but it's worth it for people who do it 10+ times a day.
I wouldn't say we're worried about another tool building one-click join. Other tools exist that do. We're branching out of the calendar space to bring work platforms like Slack and GitHub together into a unified platform. Our focus is on work platforms, theres is not.
Is there a plan to address notification fatigue? It's less of an issue with calendars because calendar events tend to be important and synchronous. I'm worried that aggregating more data sources would add a lot of noise, but I can see a lot of value in being able to surface high priority items.
Not the founder but I imagine the strategy here is to move first with a notification that has a big market like email. If they can prove that quickly, you've landed and now you expand to other kinds of notifications and suddenly you're much more defensible.
