Launch HN: Superpowered (YC W21) – Calendar in your menu bar
Hey HN, I’m Jordan from Superpowered ( http://superpowered.me/ ), here with my co-founders Nikhil, Nick, and Ibrahim. We’re building a calendar app for the Mac menu bar. A few months ago, we were students from the University of Waterloo. We started YC as a video lecture platform for professors but realized it was a horrible idea. We needed a new problem. We settled on one we all faced during our remote internships. Our calendars became more important, yet meetings took ten clicks to join and were easy to miss. So, we built a Mac app to bring the platform we check the most, Google Calendar, into the menu bar. We’ve made common actions, like joining Zoom meetings and checking what’s coming up, a click away. We’ve only solved a small part of a bigger problem. The SaaS platforms we use for work don't work well together. It shouldn’t take cycling through ten different apps
