"Your HEY invite - finally!"

This is the message I wrote asking for an invite to the oft-discussed service from the founders of Basecamp.

I remember email when it was white text on blue. Over POP and SMTP, in Outlook Express and then Outlook.

Gmail was a revelation. No wonder people sold their invites on eBay.

I hate the fact that privacy can't be taken for granted. Even though I "don't have anything to hide", I don't trust my communications to anyone - to the extent that I can.

So I use ProtonMail, and if I knew anyone who'd humor me enough to set up some PGP keys, I'd use that as well.

The unfortunate result is that my email is now harder to search than Gmail, and has a slower interface in general. Because the bodies are encrypted, they're not indexed (as far as I know). So search kinda sucks.

I'm very curious to see how Hey improves upon the email experience... I used Basecamp since the days of "holy shit! Ajax is amazing!"

Thank you, good luck, and I hope to try it out soon.
