HEY

something is at the door

6 years 66 days and counting

37signals, 2020. Young. Opinionated. Still up, on purpose, for a small room.

Why it lasted

  • A point of view: the Screener, the Feed, the Imbox. Email as a product again.
  • Basecamp's audience will pay for a principle.

Times it almost ended

  • Apple's App Store fight was the launch. That was rocket fuel and a ceiling.
  • Gmail is still Gmail. HEY is still a club.

What would finish it

  • The club not growing, plus Gmail copying the two ideas that matter. Slow.
