#162Does anyone remember the exact domain for that joke website that had the picture of the wire spring doorstopper that would just play the BOINGGGGG sound when you clicked on it? It was something like boinnnnnngggggg.com but I can’t remember it or find it in my old bookmarks.
That's the downside with a name like that. It's not very memorable.
Clearly they should have removed the vowels to make it easy to remember and named it bnnnnnngggggg.com :)
Sarcasm aside, if you do end up finding it, post here: that sounds like a hilarious one.

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...
I don't think email is broken for everybody. Maybe so for Jason Fried and other popular techies who get so much email because they are public figures. Not for my family and friends. 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.

This is Basecamp you're talking about. That's part of the cultural DNA.

I saw on hover where it would lead to, but I clicked anyway because the site deserved it. I listened to the whole song.
How can you not listen to the whole song, that's the point, it's awesome xD
The song is awesome, but the clip is cringy as can be.
From the awkward dancing, nonsensical acrobating and sunglassing to Rick himself. Even though the song's got a good beat, he can't seem to move to it no matter how hard the editor tries to cut or how cool he tries to look. And I'm always surprised by such a deep voice coming from such a skimpy guy, which contributes to the joke.

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/
I love the design! I might end up using it on some of my own projects!

#168While we're here, can anyone who's been using Hey for a little while share how it's been? I did the trial and liked it, but it felt a little bit micromanagey and I just didn't know if it'd get better after changing all my accounts and using the screener for a month or more.

A month or so in and it's still a lot of micromanaging. My biggest sticking point is that I'm unsure of which email address may be used for important notifications and the like so I'm hesitant to screen things out a lot of the time unless they are basically spam.
