Genuinely need to block Hey in keywords now. The marketing is too much.

Yeah as much as the Apple thing got their name in the headlines...it’s likely going to end up basically banning their app on the store and force them to have a non-competitive product. I don’t think they are dumb enough to think of that as marketing.

Not being able to use my own domain name with Hey is a non starter for me. It’s like not being able to transfer your cell phone number when you switch carriers. Horrible.

They already announced that custom domains are coming.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For me it was their marketing message. Empty, annoying, misleading and filled with pats on the back, Apple style. Except I can't find anything innovative

For me it was the ‘I want you to send us a cringey letter straight up begging for an invite’.

~~I'm surprised no one here has mentioned (or possibly not noticed) that the developer is an employee of Hey. This is definitely some sort of bad press marketing thing.~~

Edit: actually, it turns out I'm just an idiot and shouldn't comment on things before I fully wake up. That's my b.

I wonder how much of the annoyance with the term "Imbox" has to do with the dichotomy between System 1 and System 2 thinking. When I see "Inbox", I put almost no thought into what it means admittedly because I've been exposed to the term so many times much less so with "Imbox".
