@theredheadsaid Both :) You'd think one syllable wouldn't pose as many misconstructions as it does. 😁
Ha, I would have pronounced Ya-shev-ski.

Thinking of adding a sound file to my landing page with a guide to pronouncing my name. I realize I'm wondering this often about others... maybe someone out there is curious about mine.
I don't mind mispronunciations though...
A man on Zanzibar 20 years ago: "You're name is mathematical!"
Me: ?
Zanzibar man: Yes, 40 kilometres PER hour! *lol*
I know people are asking around and waiting to get an invite to HEY email. But I don't think you need one anymore? Just go to the site and register for an account... no code needed. Worked for me in two different browsers.

@Grinblo I'm not sure you still need one? I could go straight to the site and register a new account this morning.

@fimbault My understanding is that more parties adds to the complexity of managing it well. Is that fair?
Perhaps the more interesting point is supporting Google and Amazon, which many want to avoid today, and I should make a separate point about that.

@fimbault Hi fabien! I found it interesting to know which subprocessors they have chosen to use. Especially Mailchimp for an e-mail service was interesting to me.
Would you argue that this part of my post does not disclose anything that is helpful in decision-making?
@fimbault My thinking was that it would encourage people to compare with the subprocessors used in other services, such as @ProtonMail, @Fastmail and @mailbox_org.

@HTeuMeuLeu Je suis d’accord. Merci d'avoir partagé.

@ProtonMail @P_Wychowalek @olivierbuffon Is there information on if HEY e-mail are doing something differently here, such as stripping query strings in images even when they are loaded? This would limit tracking data significantly.

@amybphd Thank you Amy. 😊 Right!? I really did expect first impressions to be much stronger.

Hey, your e-mail matters more than hype.
I walk you through why the HEY e-mail may be a poor choice and how it can help you choose better

On LinkedIn I was asked if my biggest gripe with HEY is that it’s not free. It’s not at all. My biggest gripes are accessibility, software lock-in, and the hype of HEY being an e-mail saviour. :)
I may need to rewrite stuff if I give that impression about paid.
Paid can certainly be good and if you are going from free to paid, that’s a reason to be more diligent in looking at other paid solutions as well. The services at the end of the article all offer paid variants. I like how Protonmail offers both.
Thinking more about it, and looking at how many novel ways of managing e-mail that HEY introduces, 14 days of trying all these things out (before giving a lot of people your e-mail address) is nowhere near enough to make a sound judgement about committing.

@ibogost Right!? The seven (7!) e-mails that immediately clutter my Inbox*, with tutorials on how to use the service, seems like a disconnect from any message of simplicity. Off the bat I don't even know how to get those e-mails out of my inbox.
*No, I won't say that other 'word'.

@per_p Apparently there are 54 different types of notifications in Google Maps. Dare I suggest there are many different product teams all competing for attention. 😁

Stumbled upon one of my blog posts from 1999... my worry then with misinformation on the net was beer... oh and Mariah Carey.
"THE INTERNET IS the largest contributor of misinformation today."
That yearly cleaning though... that would be ace.
