I've been using Hey for 2 weeks. It's pretty great. The Feed is fantastic and saves me so much time. I'm also trying Superhuman this week before I commit to Hey.

[@SeraphimMarcopoulos]

Please ask DHH if custom domains will be included in the $99/yr price (as most assumed) and that it won't be a further extra charge. Thanks.

[@brianallen4657]

I bought a subscription. Slowly moving away from Google ecosystem. Also have my own domain that hopefully I can connect soon. Happy to pay and support some alternatives.

[@ZaksVlog]

Great Interview! Thank you, so much, for this!

[@rodgaray]

Brilliant interview Francesco, excellent! I'm still undecided about Hey, in one hand I really like the idea behind Hey filosophy but in the other hand if I could use it as a frontend for other email accounts like gmail (which I'm force to maintain) or microsoft exchange which I must use for work, I feel like it is an expensive fee if I'm unable to consolidate every single account I have to use. If they did I'm might be incline to use it and eventually stop using my gmail account in due time.

[@matthewb8994]

I’ve just signed up for 12 months because of this video. Now for the mammoth task of migrating all of my email accounts

[@richardchan]

It should feel like a new beginning, not porting the old into the new. Forwarding all emails shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes 🙂

[@anshulkummar]

Thanks, *Francesco* & *Keep Productive* for doing this vid! Seems a promising platform.

[@ltbaxter]

Great video, I hope Hey succeeds. When they add POP/IMAP support and let me use it for multiple accounts without silly forwarding, I'll give it a try.

[@carlosrebolledoaguirre4682]

Francesco!! No me queda claro si sigues usando Missive o ahora consideras y usas Hey?

[@StoriesPhilippines]

Please have a conversation view like the spike, monthly sub option (or even regional pricing for us people that 99 usd is x10 worth) or even a student discount is awesome. Do add notes, tasks and calendar integration it will be perfect, i am excited to the future of hey!

[@JustXavier]

This was Good. Can be talk about Basecamp next?

[@wohfab]

Don't know what to compare between an email service and a full fledged tech company, but hey :D maybe it'll be interesting :)

[@jebaker2]

The default browser & email options don't appear in my iOS 14 beta... So hopefully that's coming soon?!

[@waynehorne2734]

Hope so!

[@tshanegilman6278]

They will be at launch, if not a bit sooner in beta.

[@stevenichols5708]

No signatures and no Templates(canned responses) are features I am waiting on.

[@jrgarciab]

They do allow a signature now. But only one.

[@thesunshinehome]

their logo is the most amateurish logo I've ever seen lol

[@tshanegilman6278]

It actually reminds me of a Picasso sketch. I really like it.

[@jrgarciab]

Yeah, I think they're going for an approachable look, but I hope they update it to something more mature looking.
