What strikes me most about DHH's post about @ismh is that he tried to frame it as if he's some sort of Robin Hood bringing free stuff to the masses and making Stephen seem like the big, bad guy with the powerful ... kickstarter project?
Anyway, I was convinced that DHH was a creep a very long time ago. It's just impressive to see him show his true colors while also being a dick to a friend.
@jsnell @ismh I signed up for hey when it came out but it’s not been a major address for me because of its lack of IMAP support. Pure webmail just isn’t right for me. I don’t need a new calendar system, either. I hadn’t realized how controversial 37signals was until all this. I canceled my hey subscription; I just don’t need it, and don’t need to fill their pockets with my money.
That said, Apple’s rejection of the calendar app seems dumb. Google has one.
