I | don't plan to make it paid. | aloisdg wrote: | You can have both. Why people will pay for the app when you | can download it for free ? We will see it as a donation. I | always start by using FLOSS and if I stick with the software | for more than one year I send a donation. Having the app on a | store is a way to achieve that. Thank you for choosing to | open source the application it matters a lot for some of us. | FanaHOVA wrote: | If s/he wants donation, giving Apple a 30 percent cut is | not the most efficient way to do it. | aloisdg wrote: | 30%? Why Apple does even have a cut at all? | brailsafe wrote: | Seems like this is meant for remote meetings, but it would be | great for in office meetings too. I don't remember when so and so | has scheduled anything unless it's really consistent, then I'm | surprised in the middle of coding and look like a dick when I | stay to finish my task before joining. | jedberg wrote: | I have it installed but it doesn't tell me when the next meeting | is. It's just showing a checkered flag icon. Is that because my | next meeting is tomorrow? | yarsanich wrote: | I already using it.(from Product Hunt launch) Perfect fit for | work-day routine especially on WFH. | leits wrote: | Thanks for feedback, yarsanich! | misterbwong wrote: | Super cool. Anyone know if there is an equivalent in windows? | [deleted] | x2f10 wrote: | If you're signed into the "Calendar" app on Windows 10, you can | see upcoming meetings by clicking on the time in the taskbar. | ohadpr wrote: | Great - One thing Meeter does which is great (they are a | commercial app that does something similar) is popup a | notification with a 'join' button 2 minutes or so before the | meeting starts. That reduces the interaction to one click rather | than two. | | https://apps.apple.com/us/app/meeter-for-zoom-teams-co/id151... | wdb wrote: | Yeah, really enjoying the Meeter app that comes with the SetApp | bundle/subscription :) | barbs wrote: | For anyone looking for more general menu bar calendar app that | syncs with the macOS calendar, I can highly recommend Itsycal. | | https://www.mowglii.com/itsycal/ | emptysea wrote: | Seems similar to https://apps.apple.com/us/app/next- | meeting/id1017470484?mt=1... which I love and use every day. | | Allows you to click on the events and open meet, zoom, etc. | Varauk wrote: | I can't seem to open it; I keep getting this message: | | > "MeetingBar" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for | malicious software. | | > This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for | more information. | | Both if I use brew or manually download it. | leits wrote: | Apple isn't very friendly to software distributed outside of | AppStore. For installing it you need to: | Allow installing software outside of AppStore before | installation Allow opening the app from Preferences | after installation | | Follow this official from Apple Support to do this: | https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491c | dang wrote: | We changed the URL from https://meetingbar.onrender.com/ to the | GitHub page because the latter has more explanation. | leits wrote: | Sorry, but can you return previous URL? The site is more user- | friendly than github interface. | FanaHOVA wrote: | Given the audience, GitHub might be more user friendly :) | dharness wrote: | I prefer the github url fwiw | [deleted] | tomcat27 wrote: | very nice!! | Zaheer wrote: | There was site someone made that automatically redirects to your | next meeting.
