Why is HEY so enticing to me? I mean it's just an email service. I don't even use the email that much. So why do I keep going back to HEY? It has got something to do with their promise. Of making me care even less for the email. But they haven't sold the promise yet. A few thoughts.

@amit I’ve been trialling Hey but find it more laborious than my current SaneBox setup. I’m making notes on my experience and will write it up soon. But so far, the value proposition isn’t there (for me).

@canion Maybe the reason I am attracted to HEY is that I have no setup of any form for email. I use Gmail — so I guess I am exactly the right targeted user for HEY?

@canion I also am on my trial for HEY, and am very much in agreement with @amit about The Feed not being fully there for me, but loving notes and the simplicity it's offering so far. It's very 1.0, as the Basecamp crew have rightfully acknowledged, but I can see the potential and like how much of a paradigm shift it proposes.

@bix That's a great point; it would be nice to have a toggle to show just titles (also my preference) or show the semi-opened message. It's definitely awkward to scroll, especially if you get quite a few of them. Oddly enough, the 'screened out' section is quite a bit better at showing just that type of view. My main quibble there is that there's no easy to view a message from the screened out section then jump right back to that list if needed, and it'd also been nice to selectively move one message from there elsewhere, without having to screen in the sender. What I do love is that there's no real concept of unread messages beyond the main inbox (okay, Imbox; I get the theory there but it's definitely not yet part of my personal lexicon).

@amit It seems like you are trying to justify moving to HEY even when your right brain clearly wants you to move to it. 🙂

@rishabh Yeah, I know, right? But its way too costly. I wish it had a monthly subscription plan -- I could let the attraction of the shiny thing wear off a lot cheaper.
