WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. SWEARING = BUSINESS!
This is why you don't put a computer in charge of policing language. Because it can't fucking tell a warm, self-deprecating joke from a hostile verbal assault.
Of course, as with all content policing, this one was trivial to avoid. Just take a screenshot and send an image. NOT SO SMART NOW ARE WE, SYMANTIC WORD POLICE???!

"When the camouflaged and orderly violence of established society is challenged by the crude and unpredictable violence of a forming – but as yet inchoate – countersociety, it is hard for idealists and humanitarians to keep a proper perspective", libcom.org/blog/black-reb…
"One of the factors that induces serious revolutionaries and discouraged ghetto-dwellers to conclude that nonviolence is incapable of being developed into a method adequate to their needs is this very tendency of pacifists to line up, in moments of conflict, with the status quo."
"After all, nonviolence has ground to a halt in the area of black liberation, staggered by the depth of the problem and hesitating at the crossroads where one must move on from protest either to the illusions of liberal politics or to genuine revolution", this is from 1967.

I haven't exactly been shy about my excitement for us being so close to launching hey.com, but I'm also positively giddy about sharing the conceptual compressions we discovered on the tech side along the way. It's fundamentally changed how we write frontend code.
Perhaps the best way to express the change is that if a pull request includes custom JavaScript code, that's taken as a smell to be investigated. Doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong, but it quite possibly could be avoided. That's how we ended up with a ~40kb JS bundle.
The fundamental insight is that we can avoid 95% of all app-specific JavaScript by building better, more flexible framework solutions. All new app-specific JS now has to answer: Why? Why not CSS? Why not [new approaches]? Result: Very little app-specific JS!

That comes out to $8.25/month. Included is the service, obviously, all our amazing native apps across all platforms, 100GB storage, and the sweet satisfaction from paying for email with money rather than your privacy, eyeballs, or dignity 😁
This is also why HEY isn’t actually a competitor to Gmail in the global marketshare sense. Most people either don’t care about email (😢) or don’t realize/mind how much using a “free” big tech service actually ends up costing them in the end. But we don’t need everyone to use HEY
That’s the other advantage here. HEY isn’t some unicorn-status chasing startup that’s either going to conquer the world in five years, sell to some big tech monstrosity, or fold, taking all your data and habits with them. HEY is a small tech, long-term take on email.
