Here's the main problem: People dont live in their Google Calendar.

Your main value prop is: Know what you have to do in the next 48-hours. But the problem is, I have to go open up my calendar to see that with your app...why even install then, when GCal can tell me what I have up in the next 48h.

The key would be for it to run in where I spend most of my day -- my inbox, not my calendar.

For what it's worth, I find it generally useful to have a google calendar open in my browser at all times, so having additional information available without having to drill down on individual appointments is delightful to me.

Agree though to the 48-hour limitation -- would be great to one-click side load appointment information for any day of the week, not just the next two days.

We do provide additional information not in your calendar, but I totally see your point, and we're working on this — in fact addressing this challenge is a key part of what we'll be tackling in our next updates to the extension.

That makes a lot of sense. In fact - if you had a parallel extension running in gmail (like rapportive) - you could see the same information in both places AND see when you're meeting your email contacts next.

Don't know if it has wide appeal, but I would love that.
