    Too many email addresses I do not use.. No need another.

    From the people who brought you Ruby on Rails... :-O

    Any email service that needs a "manifesto" is not for me.

    $99/year is the price...with no custom domain.

    There have been a ton of services that say "here's the way you should work" and if that works for you, great, but if you don't want to work their way, they feel awkward. Hey seems like that to me.

    Well, if it is successful, Microsoft or Google will buy them and absorb their features so as an R&D site, party on!

    $99/ year. Totally passable

    Nah, it's Basecamp. Worst case they kill it.

    In moments like these I love MXroute from @jar and free domains of Freenom. Anonymity evolved from disposable email to disposable domains where you can have any email address with any domain, and guys like these want to charge us $99/year for a hey.com email address. These guys (from Hey) should be acquired by Apple, simply for their way of thinking.

  • nah, already have too many emails

    This is interesting, but man that $99/year 😅

  • lpnlpn Member

    It appears that I was doing email wrong for so many years /s.
    And nice vendor lock-in.

    For that price you can buy own domain and a good vps with two IPs for a year

    I thought perhaps it was a chastity stole to protect his throat.

    Why are you buying too expensive servers?

    I know, but if you read how it works https://hey.com/how-it-works/ then you’ll know why it’s interesting. If only it’s around $50/year I’ll definitely switch to them, and maybe having short 3-4 character username @hey.com would be nice also.

  • $99 a year...

    Might as well pay for Proton.

    So... Apple is actually interested in Hey, by taking more money from it.

  • I was ready to hate the shit out of Hey, but now that they're in a fight with Apple, I'm hoping they'll fuck Apple PR up, especially around all the antitrust issues they have.

    This guy needs to start recording and leaking his calls if they're using language like he's implying. Might get rotation on Spotify...

  • 99$/yr is insane, but I assumed there would be a trial period with an invite and I’d be able to squat my username as an inactive account.

    You gotta protect that username across all platforms!!!11!1!

  • pbxpbx Member

    Honestly it's too expensive, but some features are pretty nice.

    For 10$/y it could be interesting.

    Wow, that was interersting. I always figured that if you want to do your in-app through the app store, then Apple gets a cut (which makes sense)....but they’re saying they want a cut of any subscription money if you have an app. Insane.

  • They could at least enable dnssec on their domain...

    Weird, maybe a false positive?

  • boerndboernd Member

    threat of data loss sounds reasonable

  • Apart from the pricing, some features look really cool and someone like a popular figure (like a CEO) would benefit from those features.

    That pretty much explains the pricing too. They have mentioned that custom domain support is underway. So it will be useful for people who deal with 100+/day non-spammy but marketing type emails asking for 10 minutes call.

  • Actually, I didn't like it at all.

    • short names are $999 ??? Are they serious that somebody will pay $999 monthly for [email protected] ?
    • CEO & founders crying over all internet that Apple didn't approve their application for breaking TOS while at the same time trying to push "hey" - it's our application? Really cheap way to get noticed for unnoticed application/service.
    • Two years in development and no internalization in 2020? Really? Are they serious?

    So what they have to offer at the end? Only short domain name? That's all?

    Even companies like Google kill products all the time, leaving their customers hanging. We don’t do that.

    They didn't do that just yet. Better to stay away from such services, false promises.
