AI Analysis

●MidEye CandySolve My Problem

Google Calendar popup is polished, but Google's own extensions and Quick Links already solve this.

Strengths
  • •4.6★ rating with 5k users shows real adoption and polish
  • •Smart categorization (Happening Now / Coming Up / Later) and deduplication reduce notification noise
  • •Compact toolbar popup design genuinely faster than opening full Calendar tab
Weaknesses
  • •Google Calendar itself now has Quick Popup and widget features in Gmail sidebar, reducing differentiation
  • •No unique feature over native Google tooling; pure UX convenience play in crowded calendar extension space

Post Description

# Show HN: Schedule Calendar – a Chrome extension for Google Calendar I've been building for a year

I've been quietly building a Chrome extension for Google Calendar for the past year. It started as a personal tool and grew into something I use every day. Today I'm sharing it publicly.

*What it does:* Shows your Google Calendar events in a popup — day, week, or month view — with smart categorization (Happening Now / Coming Up / Later / Completed), event search, Focus Mode, calendar sharing via ACL, and notifications with deduplication.

*Why I built it:* The official Google Calendar web app is great but heavy. I wanted something that opens in a click and shows me what's happening today without switching tabs.

I'm happy to answer questions about MV3 service worker constraints, the Google Calendar API, or anything else.
