Email deserves a dust off. A renovation. Modernized for the way we email today.
With HEY, we’ve done just that. It’s a redo, a rethink, a simplified, potent reintroduction of email. A fresh start, the way it should be.

Watched the walkthrough video, and indeed there are quite a few nice ideas. But let's be honest, nothing is revolutionary. Every feature can be replicated with "workarounds"/"hacks" as they point out. But I'd rather do these workarounds rather than pay $100/year.
This really does not deserve the attention it's been getting. Hats off for the getting so many people to upvote on producthunt and the referral system. Yet still a definite no for me

I tried HEY the last days and I really enjoyed the UX.
Now I have to migrate from gmail to HEY :)
Good job!

How surprising/disappointing that everyone is going crazy over this...
A couple of interesting features for sure... but making a big deal of the screener which has existed for like 10 years is a bit much - also not having access to the things most of us need like size/dates/times etc etc using up so much vertical screen space for a single line/email = UX disaster
The interface tries to do things different and that's always good but the interface is a mess - by the way that it imposes things the way - Hey thinks they should be...
Sorry but alternatives that have flexibility/extensions like Thunderbird and others are 100x more productive.
The theory is great, the reality looks unmanageable - this feels like so many GTD / Task type softwares that try to re-invent the todo list and fail.

I'm playing around with it. I really like the idea. But, not allowing custom domain names is a deal breaker. I'd seriously consider switching if I could keep using my email address.
