Just to make sure the value prop of Hera is clear (given the alternative itsycal): Joining your meeting in one-click is a small fraction of our value proposition. The core of what users do in Hera is around efficiently preparing and taking actionable notes in meetings.

Feel free to check the Loom demo done by Louise and don't hesitate if you have any questions!

checked out, now i understand that you're a WYSIWYG editor for editing calendar events and a menubar app to join meetings

correct?

The main value prop is note taking and the workflow around it:

1. Creating and choosing a template for a meeting. e.g. my 1 on 1 vs new customer onboarding vs. customer research meetings all have different formats. I have a template in a text file today that a duplicate before every meeting. It's annoying.

2. Being able to mark and export todos from your notes to the place where I keep todos.

3. Being able to share your notes.

4. Being able to export notes to Slack/Notion/Google Docs for my teammates who don't use or need to use Hera

Seeing my next meeting in the menubar and joining is the least interesting part of Hera.

No horse in the race here. But if you're going to comment you may want to do the work to comment fairly. The sum total of the work I did was watch the 2 minute Loom video - so it's not even a lot of work to do.

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.
