Hey all :) creator here (and yes, you can reach me at linus@heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com). Was talking with a friend last night and I bought this domain on a whim because I thought it would be funny. And then spent a couple hours making this landing page and it's since turned into this elaborate joke. Hope it added something to your day~ haha

I actually love this type of design. Did you have any inspirations? Any frameworks used?

I, for one, miss uselessaccount.com and feel that this product fills an important niche.

This is pretty great. I think DHH will get a kick out of it. My favorite parody site made fun of web frameworks and called them "crystal node grunt gems for ninjas". The whole website was genius, but I can't seem to find it anymore. :( Does anybody else have any more parody sites? (Or know the one I'm referring to?)

http://vanilla-js.com/ Probably not the one you are referring to; but made in same spirit.

I'm actually sad I can't really get a heyyyyyyyyyyyy email.

just register your own domain with varying amount of Ys. At this point there is no meaningful difference between 12 Ys and 13 Ys.

Hey, thanks! I used a CSS library [0] I wrote myself last year that I use for a bunch of other projects of mine, most famously lyrics.rip [1] and free.linus.zone (my free-busy calendar I wrote myself) [2]. It gives the site the "faux-3D" aesthetic.

First mock that showed up shortly after Hey’s introduction was funny, I have to admit that even as a user. Not sure if it did fit on HN but whatever. But this is not only low effort, but what’s there to discuss? Is it really that interesting?

Is anything interesting?
