We really need to get a better way to keep multiple usernames involved in a micro.blog thread. They don’t have to be added by default, but at least an easy option to click and add those who were previously on the thread. Handling conversations with more than 2 people is not fun.

HEY!

The best way I can describe it is “Gmail coming onto the scene in 2005, but not from Google this time.”

Probably doesn’t make sense, but thinking about email in 2005 makes the analogy fit if you remember the Gmail launch. Reinventing email, fancy tools for processing, etc.

People are together, COVID cases go up.

Put space in between people, COVID cases go down.

Bring them back together, COVID cases go up.

If only there was a pattern ๐Ÿค”

Imagine many are wondering about this?

Do you support custom domains?

Not yet, but we will later this year. We canโ€™t provide details on cost, exact timeline, or process at this time. Weโ€™ll email you when we have news to share. BTW, burk@hey.com is a pretty great email address.

โ€œMost mysteries can be solved by looking at the facts. But sometimes, the facts donโ€™t lead to a logical explanation, and the truth lies somewhere in the unknown…โ€

Getting a lot of spam the last few days… ๐Ÿค”

Must be a campaign by Hey! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Finally got around to watching the PS5 reveal video. Looks cool! Weโ€™ll be picking up a digital version when it launches. Alongside the Xbox Series X. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ ๐ŸŽฎ

Addition to AirPods that I would love. Better, make it a standard for all headphones. w/option to disable if wanted.

Using Firefox exclusively as my browser for the last ~6 months on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Only found two issues. ๐ŸฆŠ

  1. You don’t get ApplePay prompts on websites that support it. They only show up in Safari.
  2. Can’t auto populate text auth codes.

#1 might be deal breaker. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Voice Tweets is Twitter wishing they came up with TikTok, right? ๐Ÿค”

iPad apps that are locked to portrait orientation. Stop it.

After using my own domain for my email for SO long, going back to something like “username@hey.com” would feel like a huge step backwards. (especially given that you are almost certainly not going to get the username you want.)

Stick with one email. That you own.

My automated youtube-dl system broke.. here is what happened and how to fix it (in case it happens to you).

I am a very light and extremely anxious sleeper. One odd noise and Iโ€™m up for hours with panic. Made it to 2:44am this time! ๐ŸŽ‰
