Been using Hey.
I have mixed feelings.
My overall feeling: Why is this so revolutionary?
(Please read this thread and tell me why I'm wrong. I want to love it, really.)

I use @SparkMailApp for email.
It automatically sorts my email into "People", "Newsletters", and "Notifications"
This to me is the same as The Imbox, The Feed, and The Paper Trail
Except I don't have to manually train it. It just works well out-of-the-box

I kinda like the idea of "The Screener", but it's so much work.
It's also stressful: If I say "no", where do the emails go? Will I never ever see them?
There are things I want to screen, like useless service newsletters.
If I "No", will I lose important stuff from the service?

Because "The Feed" and "The Paper Trail" are completely separate pages, I find myself not looking in them.
With "Spark", I can see a glimpse of these emails. This means I don't miss my friends product launches and newsletters.

Things I care less about but still annoy me:
- The keybindings are inconsistent across pages
- If I "move" an email, I'm not sure if it moves all future ones or not (it does not, you have to move the sender)
- Everything feels too big
- The editor does weird buggy things

Redeeming qualities:
- it's new and makes me feel relevant
- it forces me to look more closely at curating my imbox (which is admittedly tiring and I'm not sure I needed)
- it's built on my dream stack: HTML over the wire
- it's built by brilliant people (The Basecamp crew)

Phew. How'd I do. Whadyathink?
