Great idea, I agree with the premise that a lot of (side-)projects start with basic needs in terms of DB. Would be interested - to understand how you think about pricing in the future? - to understand how you see recent progress with LLMs

Definitely a big inspiration for us! Thanks:)

Great point, well articulated. Our product does not officially support Exchange (mostly due to dev bandwidth limitation :( ) BUT if you can subscribe to your Exchange calendar in a Google Calendar (linked to any Google Account) then you can

I agree with your analysis, but I think there is significant impact on features you can build on top of "store files locally", including collaborative features (sharing meeting notes without too much frictions) On a personal note,

To name a few: - Tight integration between your calendar and the context (notes, actions) related. The notes you take are automatically linked to this calendar event, the attendees, potential past related meetings - The notes you take in He

Your meeting notes are linked together if they are linked to the same "group of meetings" (that we call Streams). So that when you enter your "Weekly Product", Hera gives you a quick access to the outcomes (highlights, n

Sorry Danny, it's a big mistake on our side, the privacy policy should be crystal clear. - On calendar's data: we only use the title, description, etc. of the calendars you have chosen to sync in Hera. - On google drive files, I w

Great remark. The recurring fee is mainly tied to the fact that the value you get from Hera should grow over time. The more meeting notes you write into Hera, the more connected all your meetings will be and the more context Hera will be a

Good question, mainly two points: 1. We had deep expertise in Electron and web dev. We are 4 months old so we wanted to validate the problem AND our solution as quickly as possible. 2. Meetings, by essence, have many stakeholders. Some (if

Totally get that the safety of your meeting notes is top priority. We have not yet settled on whether we want to choose the "notes stored locally" path or the "fully encrypted on our server" path, mainly because of the i

No problem, thanks for taking the time to comment :)

Totally understandable!

You're the second to suggest that, we are implementing the change on the home page as we speak, thanks :)

Thanks for the comment, it would indeed probably clarify the shortcuts!

Yes, Fellow is one of the first company to build a meeting-centric solution! Few significant differences: - Hera is very single-player, our product is built around making YOU more productive with your meetings - There is a strong focus on a

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-bas

Thanks for the kind words! Looking forward to seeing you on Hera!:)

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 fu

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 sai

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

Did not know about itsycal, thanks for the pointer. On pricing, please note that there's a good free version :)

Our current version is on Electron :( The bundle size is unfortunately significantly larger than a native MacOS app but we are very cautious with performance, memory and speed so if we did our job right you won't tell the difference fr
