Guess you have to have advertisers after all, but 🤢🤮

Kevin Patrick Doyle 🍅🥫@daringfireball I just wouldn’t take money from someone who gleefully ripped off a fellow blogger/podcaster
Justin Stach@daringfireball The fuck?
Christopher Griffiths@daringfireball @gruber If you had this ad slot booked back when they were having their latest spat with Apple, I think it was incumbent upon you to acknowledge that Hey/37signals were an upcoming sponsor. Not a good look here.
Abazigal@daringfireball Every day, we stray further from the light.
Christian Kündig@daringfireball love the reactions here 😂

@daringfireball I find it intriguing but I just can’t let go of the need for native (really native) apps and open standards like IMAP and CardDAV.
billyok@daringfireball mystery solved why you were completely mum about the way they cribbed off Stephen’s calendar and then tossed it under the bus.
Chris Mc@daringfireball now I’m even happier your Cowboys lost last night.
Hopefully you lost more than this ad pays.
Grievous Angel@daringfireball somewhat disappointing Mr Gruber.
Michiel HaismaHonest question: what's the problem with having HEY / Basecamp as a sponsor? Replies here seem to indicate they are somehow bad?

Basecamp Resubmits Its Calendar App, Includes Dates in Apple History to Get Past App Review
There's been a lot of news about HEY's new calendar app being rejected by App Store Review. In a lengthy X thread discussing the issue, David Heinemeier Hansson revealed that HEY has resubmitted the app to Apple, this time with some built-in content that seems awfully familiar: You're going to love our "make it do [...]
@Kevin
After reading this I may not understand the nuance here. They include a sample calendar in the app 'start' screen which is a calendar with a collection of apple events similar to one Stephen made for a kickstarter.
So what's the issue exactly? I feel like I'm missing something here.
@michielh it’s the tweet by DHH that I take issue with. He didn’t have to point out that Stephen made a thing and now Hey is just going to give it to everyone for free (which is totes fair as it’s public data!). There was a way not to be a dick, and DHH chose the other option.
I have paid for Hey before, and use Basecamp at work, great products! I just don’t care for DHH much
Zach Weigand@michielh The company is run by a guy that sorta acts like Elon. Thinks COVID was overblown, rants against DEI, banned his employees from discussing politics/race (which caused a large percentage of his employees to leave the company), and generally just gives off a right-wing red-pilled vibe in his ranty blog posts.
I used to subscribe to Hey email until I followed his blog.
