I’m Still Liking HEY Email But…
I’ve been using the HEY email service since its introduction. This week I had to search extensively in my email history to find transaction receipts and contracts. HEY email client has a unique take visually on emails and the inbox, and you either like it or hate it. I still like it, but I feel let down by the software for operations like searching, content rendering and attachment processing. This is where I wish HEY had a more standard take on email display and attachment preview. There is a lack of information density in this app which annoys me.
If there was another similar service but with a native client, I think I would switch.
Wondering something this morning: if Threads was to offer “free” APIs, would developers embrace them or think again and remember about Twitter and Reddit snafu? I bet they would embrace them.
Threads is just another trick by cyberspace to divert my attention to being focused, creative, happy, hopeful, and more importantly to use me as another data point by scrapping my privacy. I say NO.
Call it whatever you like, design it whatever you want, release today, tomorrow, in a year, if there is one simple link with Meta, I’m out. Enough of this platform / Zucherburg. 🤮

I always found those types of cleanups so satisfying. I’m almost as satisfied when I’m reading this type of blog post. Good job!
Does Apple know that, with the Apple Vision Pro, they have a unique opportunity to reinvent weather apps? Imagine experiencing a thunderstorm forecast in this immersive environment. Can’t wait but I’m not holding my breath.
One thing that we don’t hear or read about these days is the lack of a standard way to get transaction receipts in stores, restaurants, and even online. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was an electronic standard to get these receipts by email or any other means? @Apple, are you reading this?
Waiting for a new release of Craft this week (v2.5.6 today?)👀. Curious to see what’s coming with it. I heard about few stability issues with Apple’s crop of new beta OSes. Those might get a fix. It might add a few tweaks here and there too. We will see. It will be hard for me to create the usual release analysis this time around (vacation time!).
Using Day One to document my trip in Morocco is so refreshing🥰. This app is so well designed and executed. Strangely enough, I rarely use Day One other than for peeking at past memories of my publications (automatically added through IFTTT automation with RSS feeds). I rarely add to my personal journal. That might change from now on.
