| Maybe because Hey/Basecamp decided to target Apple's email platform on Hey's home page as the cause of all Inbox woes? Maybe before you go griping about technical details in Apple's App Store rules, Hey/Basecamp should have considered not blaspheming (unfairly) Apple's Email platform (among others) on their home page: > "You started getting stuff you didn’t want from people you didn’t know. You lost control over who could reach you. An avalanche of automated emails cluttered everything up. And Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and Apple just let it happen." Pretty snarky of Jason Fried & Co. to accuse Apple of being the reason I lost control of my Inbox, and then beg and cajole Apple to let them have their Hey App on iOS without allowing a signup option via Apple's massive eco-system. Typical Small Dev Thinking. "Hey is different and Apple is Evil and We have Single-handedly solved all the problems that Apple created! Oh, by the way, can we please be in the App Store so we can have access to Apple's bajillions of customers and $$$ so we can make a few $100k because the economy is tanking?". Worse of all? Hey lied. Through the teeth. Nearly all of their Top 20 "features" have been available via Apple's Email service for years, and in some cases decades, and most are also available via other email services like Gmail. https://mrtechimist.wordpress.com/2020/06/16/apples-email-an... This is probably the lowest skullduggery that Fried & Co have attempted to foist on the unsuspecting public. I'm personally surprised and have always been a fan of their work. Don't know what's going on under the covers over there, but it can't be good. |
