It was something like boinnnnnngggggg.com but I can’t remember it or find it in my old bookmarks.
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
Aw, you missed a great opportunity! I would've loved a "Hey Hey Heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com" [1] [1] https://youtu.be/Zw6T4Db7_7o?t=29

I like this parody, but I don’t understand what you are saying about Hey’s original marketing. What’s particularly arrogant about product designers saying they’ve identified and solved a problem? Here’s what they originally put up, for reference: http://web.archive.org/web/20200207101953/https://www.hey.co...
My biggest gripe about Hey is that it’s marketed as an email client, but it’s actually a proprietary database you get access to through something that looks like an email address. I’m exaggerating a bit. But I don’t understand why they built a service and not a client. For me, email is about being not locked into a specific client. And Hey requires a separate client than the one for my existing email addresses.
They're not about better managing your existing inbox, and I also think completely changing the management of a third party email services while staying within the standards is a lost battle. Hey doesn't solve my issues with email either, but I am sympathic to people trying to rebuild an experience beyond what existing clients can do.
Rickrolling is no longer fun with a pre-roll ad

Some of the core features aren't feasible with a simple client. For example screening new contacts by default, merging/renaming threads only for you, adding notes to a thread, save bits of content…
Hi, I can't register. Each time I click, a weird old video opens. Can someone help me ? I tried to contact the creator of the site to tell him that he messed up with his register link.
Enjoyable to see these mockery sites. The original Hey marketing was just asking to get mocked. Hopefully they take it in good spirit. The lesson learned I think is, don’t act like God unless you want to get mocked for it.

A client could certainly handle this, but it may not translate to other instances of the client.
> merging/renaming threads only for you
An advertised feature that did not even work on their release. Maybe they fixed it by now, I don't know, I did not end up buying the product. The initial release was quite buggy.
