Hey all :) creator here (and yes, you can reach me at linus@heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com).<p>Was talking with a friend last night and I bought this domain on a whim because I thought it would be funny. And then spent a couple hours making this landing page and it's since turned into this elaborate joke. Hope it added something to your day~ haha
Hi, I can't register. Each time I click, a weird old video opens. Can someone help me ? I tried to contact the creator of the site to tell him that he messed up with his register link.
Enjoyable to see these mockery sites. The original Hey marketing was just asking to get mocked. Hopefully they take it in good spirit. The lesson learned I think is, don’t act like God unless you want to get mocked for it.
Interesting. The source code for the Useless Web[0] lists `heeeeeeeey.com`<p><pre><code> var sitesList = [

Considering the activity of HN users, I found these numbers highly suspicious. (But a good try anyway.) I wonder what is the best number for tempting a click. Maybe you should increase these as the site popularity grows?
I found a bug: If I resize the window to cover both my screens the title bar, I run out of Ys. Unacceptable!<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Jw0NTxf.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Jw0NTxf.png</a>
This is fucking comedy gold, absolutely brilliant.<p>Signed up for my heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com email account and I'm thrilled to find out that I'm user #15!!! My life is officially complete.
I thought that was going to be:
<a href="https://heeeeeeeey.com/" rel="nofollow">https://heeeeeeeey.com/</a>, and wondered what it's doing at HN's top...<p>[Content Warning: contains audio, loops, might be annoying, rip your browser history]
Does anyone remember the exact domain for that joke website that had the picture of the wire spring doorstopper that would just play the BOINGGGGG sound when you clicked on it?<p>It was something like boinnnnnngggggg.com but I can’t remember it or find it in my old bookmarks.
Similar to omg.lol<p>I actually have an email with them. I use it when I have to give an email, specially in person. It's so much fun when people see this sort of email address!
While we're here, can anyone who's been using Hey for a little while share how it's been? I did the trial and liked it, but it felt a little bit micromanagey and I just didn't know if it'd get better after changing all my accounts and using the screener for a month or more.
Thumb up from me for the potential archaeoclonal side play.<p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=da+vinci+duke+of+milan+letter&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=da+vinci+duke+of+milan+lette...</a>
I expected it would link to this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32FB-gYr49Y" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32FB-gYr49Y</a> instead of a rick roll! Nice one.
This is pretty great. I think DHH will get a kick out of it.<p>My favorite parody site made fun of web frameworks and called them "crystal node grunt gems for ninjas". The whole website was genius, but I can't seem to find it anymore. :(<p>Does anybody else have any more parody sites? (Or know the one I'm referring to?)
Quite funny, but I think it needs to take a bigger dig on hey.com's pricing and offering.<p>> $100 for each "y"<p>Ah, flipping hey.com's model of charging more for shorter addresses. Genius!<p>> So expensive, you'll never forget to cancel<p>This should be right at the top! And it applies to hey.com too (for many people)! :)
Most startups on HN would be far more honest if they just came full circle and made an email app like hey.com.<p>But anyway, looking forward to the Microsoft Word, errr, Notion clones in the coming months.
The fact that hey.com ignored the precedent of ignoring periods within emails will make hey.com emails rife with fraud when they open up. Pretending phishing and email phishing doesn't exist won't make it go away. And I certainly won't spend 2x the amount for an email subscription to reserve my first.last@hey.com vs. firstlast@hey.com<p>Setting email back 10 years, 1 step at a time
First mock that showed up shortly after Hey’s introduction was funny, I have to admit that even as a user. Not sure if it did fit on HN but whatever. But this is not only low effort, but what’s there to discuss? Is it really that interesting?
