I really liked the features of hey.com but I just couldn't stand their design language something about the colors and weighting of elements is just totally off-putting for me and the calendar sadly isn't better.
The fact that they are so polarizing with just design choices is their edge.
You either love it or hate. It’s a lot like Rails in this regard.
The amount of colors, bold and flashy text, etc. is just very distracting.
When you're dealing with lots of information, as you do with large email inboxes - I want the opposite of distracting.
I want something where it puts content first, no distractions, and high info-density.
Hey is not that.
I was a big fan of https://www.yourtempo.co before they shutdown.
