Hey, Bye

Basecamp’s hyped email service Hey, which is invite-only and costs at least $99/year (because shorter messages carry a premium price), has a very manifesto-like website. Check it out.

Now, if you – like me – are pissed off about not getting an invite yet, there’s always Bye instead. Bye takes a slightly different approach:

Hey everyone—

It’s 2020 and we need to talk about email.

Fuck it.

Bye is the first email service to automatically respond with an insult, and then delete every email sent to you.

Bye is our erotic letter to email, and we’re sending it to you on the Web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, McDonald’s kiosks and Android.

I love things like this. Hat-tip to my buddy Alexander for sharing this gem with me.
