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

Somehow I think the joke would be more fun if you dropped the unrealistic perks and actually sold it for $1200 a year.

Absolutely. This could be another Million Dollar Homepage idea.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

For all its promises of open-source friendliness, Tutanota is basically the same. They don't support accessing email through SMTP.

On Tutanota your email are encrypted at rest and only you have the key. This is not supported by SMTP.

It's a trade-off for theoretically better privacy.

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 was hoping the YouTube link was to the He-Man Heya video instead:

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.

It's a RAITM attack (Rick-Astley-In-The-Middle) I think.

If I may make a suggestion, redirect the Rickroll link through a "/reserve" link on your site so it's not immediately obvious on mouse hover.

Darn, you spoiled it for me! I clicked anyways just to check :)
