Let us talk about HEY.
Tech
Ever since HEY came out, I was
veryintrigued by it and it became this new thing that all the
cool kids were raving about, for better or for worse, and of course, the
FOMO. But because of the price tag, I resisted as much as I could, until
I caved and fell in love with it. And it was the simple âgimmicksâ that
made it different and made email a lot more funner, as my kids
would say. And by gimmicks, I mean features like Imbox, the Paper Trail,
The Feed, Set Aside, and Bubble Up, all of the things that made my email
much cleaner, and easier to manage. Just see what I wanted to see.
Before it renewed the first time around, I canceled my membership
just to find myself missing it a few months after, missing its gimmicks.
At that point, I tried using Fastmail, as I read that you could
basically recreate the same âgimmicksâ on it. However, for whatever
reason, Fastmail did not click for me, as Marley would say, I wasnât
feeling it. I endured just regular email for a while until a few months
ago, and I signed up for it again.
Now in the past few days, I have been debating again. Do I really
need it, for the way I do email? I could probably just go by without it
and delete things I donât want as they come in, and manage it all
manually.
Manage it all manuallyâŚ
That sounds like another thing to stress about, donât it?
Guess Iâve just blogged myself into keeping it [đ
