You'll finally enjoy meetings again
Yep - the product and website are ready. But now, I need to wait for Google to approve my usage of their Calendar API.
Reading their documentation, they mention a wait time of four to six weeks. This is SO LONG. What has been your experience with the process? Hopefully, it has been faster than this!
Yep - I began working on this idea in October/2022, but ended up never shipping.
I just kept finding excuses as to why I shouldn't do it. I had the MVP done, but didn't push it live. Freelancing work kept holding me back. So I delayed.
But no more. I'll never if this is the right idea if I don't ship!
So today I launched the Beta waitlist page. The product works, but still lacks a user-facing interface. Therefore I'll do a manual onboarding.
You can see the website here: https://www.supercal.io
Let me know what you think!

After thoroughly reading the website, I still don't understand how it will improve/optimize meetings.

That’s true. I like headers but it’s hard to figure out how it works. Any examples?

Thanks, however I still didn’t understand too much. BTW does it mean that someone (you) will know my schedule on Google Calendar? What about privacy?

Got it. Still need to improve on the user facing interface so it becomes clearer!
Nope, I don't have access to the data! Made sure of that

I usually try to write texts to be understandable by my father in his 80. Your "Connect Google Calendar to Supercal" sounds not very clear even for me. Should I download and install something? Or work with your website? Is it extension to Chrome? Safari? Individual app? And so on. Keep going, please! 😊

Mhhh got it. Needs some work there, and definately a self-onboarding experience so everything becomes clearer! Thanks!

You connect to Supercal and it'll start optimizing your meetings depending on the rules you set. Give me an hour and I'll record a demo video for you guys!

The landing looks professional. The statements are clear. I don't have meetings, to be honest, as a thing to struggle with. But I was thinking about my college who has lots of them. However, I'd wish to see "before & after" case. Otherwise, I'm no sure how to explain what it's all about.

Hey @Dimmi! Just did a demo video. It's 1:50 minutes long. Check it out: https://www.loom.com/share/39f799252ba14dfaa52b491c1131b59a

Thanks for the such prompt response. I think you may feel agitated after many comments here, and are trying to fix asap. Please, don't :) Let dust settle down.
Back to the topic. The sound of the video is hardly recognisable. Have no idea why, I've checked it on my phone. Then, change interface language to English. You seem to do lots of movements there, what I don't really expect from automated thing.
Good automation is when you don't notice it. From the overall description at the landing it looks like it's exactly like this. But, suddenly, "Shift the focus to Supercal"... what?
Try the "mom test". And explain what your app does to a 5 years old. I do it often, it helps ;)
