Hey.com is a love letter to the open web
- dbbk 6y agoMaybe its web client app is, but the service is not. It's a closed, proprietary system.
- peace2all 6y agoHuh? In what way? Nearly everything they "invented" has been around for years, and in some cases a decade. They blasted Apple and Gmail for causing Inbox problems, but all their "solutions" are common ways we have always managed our inboxes. https://mrtechimist.wordpress.com/2020/06/16/apples-email-and-basecamps-new-hey-emails-top-20-features/ https://mrtechimist.wordpress.com/2020/06/16/apples-email-an...
- tjholowaychuk 6y agoyeah absolutely nothing new here
- naikrovek 6y agoCongratulations. You all missed the point entirely.
- tjholowaychuk 6y agoHow so? It's just a basic marketing site, nothing newsworthy at all
- TacoToni 6y agoCompletely agree. Nothing new here. Don’t understand all the hype.
- drannex 6y agoNot only nothing new, but you can't /use/ this service outside of their own walled garden. No API access (or plans), no way to use another client to access it but their own. This is entirely antithetical to the 'open web' claim.

- nikolay 6y agoIf you want a truly spam and effort-free email, use Boxbe [0]. I receive thousands of emails a day. I've paid to use SaneBox, but then it was losing important emails and I still ahd to go thrue all emails. Honestly, Hey deceives people a little - in the beginning, their mailboxes will appear clean simply because it's a new email account. But will time and autogenerated senders, Hey will drown in email just like any other service. [0]: https://www.boxbe.com/ https://www.boxbe.com/
- skavi 6y agoDid anyone actually read the tweets? They appear to be referring not to the webapp product itself, but to the marketing/information pages.
