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.
Unlike other email startups, this one promises to never give you up or let you down. I expect them to resist every attempt at acquisition. (I miss you, Mailbox, Sparrow...)

I actually love this type of design. Did you have any inspirations? Any frameworks used?
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. [0] https://thesephist.github.io/blocks.css/ [1] https://www.lyrics.rip [2] https://thesephist.com/posts/frieden/
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.
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...
So when I read their pitch, I see another locked in platform à la Slack. The tone is quite pretentious too. Sounds more like a pitch from a clique leader to join them.
That's what bothers me I guess.
Rickrolling is no longer fun with a pre-roll ad

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.

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
Site seemed slightly entertaining, baby is awake, I'm not currently amused ;)
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?
Do you have a link?
