That's ... content-free.<p>Email was great, is still great, but these days is a chore.<p>We'll fix all that! But we're not going to tell you how!!<p>Give us your email address and we'll let you know when we have something ready.<p>We won't misuse your email address ... promise.
For years, I have been using the Inbox Zero method (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9UjeTMb3Yk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9UjeTMb3Yk</a>) to stay sane. It really does help. I regularly empty my inbox while others seem stuck in the hell that is 9,000 unread emails.<p>I have known people to declare email bankruptcy. Why should anyone have to declare defeat to a productivity tool, let alone one that didn't exist when my parents were born?<p>Insanity!<p>Even with my successes reigning in email, I realize that I have it backwards. Technology should adapt to us, not the other way around.<p>I'm interested to see what Hey is all about.
The only other company I know attempting to revolutionize email is Superhuman [0]. It will be interesting to compare these services. One thing I can say is that Basecamp will certainly be competitive if they can offer their service for less than $30 per month, which is how much Superhuman charges currently [1].<p>[0] - <a href="https://superhuman.com/" rel="nofollow">https://superhuman.com/</a>

I hope their hot-sauce is to thread emails by sender, sorted by last email. Just like a chat app.<p>Amazingly this simple feature isn’t available in any popular email client I know of.
