Products that do what Gmail-TUI – Replicating the Gmail-Web Experience in Terminal does
Hi everyone - Posting on HN for the very first time. I am working on an open-source project called Gmail-TUI that aims to replicate the Gmail Web-UI in a TUI-Environment. As of now, users can Login, navigate within this app and compose & send mail. App GIF (v0.2.0-Alpha): https://imgur.com/LGWmkLP Project Repo: https://github.com/dev-vaayen/Gmail-TUI/tree/main SMTP-Protocol in Golang: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/sending-email-using-smtp-in-go... The Idea Behind This App Just a few days after I had installed Ubuntu, I lost the…

Hey there, there are lot of disposable email services, but as I was thinking I realized 95% of the time, I don't care about my inbox. I just want to "verify my email". That's why I created a startup with no website, it's called [email protected], it's a credible domain (you don't say) and it will click on any "verify" links you send it to it. You can use aliases to get around of duplicate emails in the target system, so like [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] so choose an alias and start using the service! I will provide a…

Hey guys, so I've been building my own Gmail for the past few weeks and would like your feedback. Find a preview here: http://i.imgur.com/UDz2y.png (Mouse cursor is over the "REPLY" button, to show the hover-effect) The app you see in the screenshot is what I've been using in the past week and it starts to feel better than the gmail interface. Just a quick explanation: - It's conversation-based like Gmail. - Conversations with new emails are on the left. - Conversations may be labeled ... based on predefined filters or manually. - Every conversation stays in the left sidebar until marked…

What it does: A Postman/Insomnia-like TUI for building, sending, and organizing HTTP/GraphQL/gRPC/WebSocket requests. Supports saved collections stored as YAML/JSON files, environment variables, auth presets, response diffing, and request history. Why it's needed: This is the single largest gap in the Go TUI ecosystem. The abandoned wuzz (10.5k stars) proved massive demand for terminal HTTP inspection, but it's been dead for years. Posting (Python, ~6k stars) and ATAC (Rust, ~2k stars) are thriving alternatives in other languages. The Go options — gostman and go-gurl…

Hi all, I've posted a few times here about Maildown, a startup that I've been trying to validate lately. Due to lack of time to focus on this, I've taken the decision to abandon the project as a startup, but to make it available as an open source solution instead. The (still very basic) github repository is here: https://github.com/chris104957/maildown Maildown now exists as a simple CLI wrapper for Amazon SES which bakes in Markdown and styling support, making it much easier to get transactional mails up and running in any project Thanks for looking, Chris

Hey HN, I'm a longtime reader and this is my first Show HN (exciting!) It's a collaboration between me and two friends, and we're building this upon another app we made called EmailYak, an API to receive email. We're trying something new and releasing the documentation to an app while we're still building it. We'd love feedback. Do you belong to any of these categories? 1) You've built an app with two distinct groups of users (say, people with cars and those looking for a ride) and they were able to communicate with each other. Did you expose personal email addresses? Did you send…

I've been building go-tui (https://go-tui.dev), a terminal UI framework for Go inspired by the templ framework for the web (https://templ.guide/). The syntax should be familiar to templ users and is quite different from other terminal frameworks like bubbletea. Instead of imperative widget manipulation or bubbletea's elm architecture, you write HTML-like syntax and Tailwind-style classes that can intermingle with regular Go code in a new .gsx filetype. Then you compile these files to type-safe Go using `tui generate`. At runtime there's a flexbox layout engine based…

This is my personal todo app, which I made a while back after the original https://xit.jotaen.net/ post. tuido is written in go, with the bubbletea tui framework. My daily workflow involves creating YYYY-MM-DD.md and taking notes, many of which are effectively low-level todos that fall below the threshold for more public or involved issue trackers. Problem was that these half-hazard todos weren't tracked at all. After seeing the [x]it spec, it seemed clear that a little tooling could fix this. I've been reasonably happy with it.

Try it at: ssh krnl.duetbrowser.com No sign up, totally free - no download. Let me know what you think. This is a real TUI browser rendering the web as ANSI with its own layout engine. The backend is Google cloud run, running browserbox and the Krnl TUI browser and it is routed through a simple SSH server endpoint. Prior art exists (brow.sh) but I wasn't satisfied with their graphical take. I wanted the raw, old skool terminal days of the early internet - BBS, and old green phosphor library comptuers - but running the modern web, with all the bells and jingle jangle whistles (JavaScript,…

Hi All! I wanted to show you guys EmailUSD, an app I’ve been working on for some time. It lets you send and receive TRON USDT using just email addresses simplifying onboarding and making it super easy to use + send and receive. I think for a lot of non crypto folks crypto is this scary new thing because the onboarding and usage experience is really novel. Upon introduction you have to write down your 12 words and we put scary messages everywhere about it. And then when you want to send and receive you have to transmit this complex combination of numbers and letters to someone and get it…

Hi HN, I host my own mail infrastructure and don't rely on third-party tools to send my mails. But in a microservice architecture, managing all the SMTP configs quickly becomes tiresome. After a while I'd always have my credentials and settings scattered in application-properties, bash scripts and environment files. So I've build Brieferl, an app where you can add your SMTP servers and send emails through a single API with a simple JSON payload. You also get logs of when/where emails were sent and HTML previews of messages. I am interested in what you guys think about this. You can…

Hey folks at HN, I didn’t want to pay $10–$30/month for AI email tools, so my friend and I built a free Chrome extension that works directly inside Gmail. It has the core features you'd expect: - When you open a reply, it drafts a response based on the thread — just hit Tab and send. - As you type, it suggests completions based on context (like autocomplete, but smarter). - Press Shift+Tab to force a suggestion anytime. - You can also give it context with // comments — e.g. // suggest a time on Thursday afternoon — and press Tab to drop in the response. Then hit…

Hi HN! I just released assistant-tui, a terminal user interface for OpenAI's Assistant API. If terminal is your thing, it can be a great way to test and evaluate the API and its results. It implements not only the API, but also all the infrastructure to make it work, including polling, local repository, and more. Feedbacks and stars are welcome! https://github.com/dalssoft/assistant-tui

Hi, i was wondering what the HN community thinks of this email tone check application? Do you think this can be done better with open-source? Disclaimer: I am neither a founder or an employee at the company. Just someone who had a similar idea.

Hey HN! I've been using RabbitMQ for about 10 years now, and while the web UI is handy, I've always found the experience frustrating. We all used to share scripts that would add JSON formatting and other small details to make it more practical. At some point, I even tried proposing improvements or a revamp of the UI on the RabbitMQ Slack. The answer I got was "don't fix what is not broken", which in hindsight was obviously the right one. So I took a different route and built the tool I wished existed: a desktop IDE for RabbitMQ. The key features I started with are: - Multi-connection support…

Hi HN, This project is designed to take a TUI built with Textual, and turn it in to a web application. It can also do something similar with your shell or other terminal app. You could serve "htop" for example. There are other projects which do something similar. Textual Web takes a different approach, in that it doesn't need to run as a server. It should work as long as you can make an outgoing tcp/ip connection. I plan to expose more of the web API to Textual apps. The goal is to have a system to quickly create and deploy UIs with Python. These aren't going to replace web applications…

No funding, no VC, just 100% raw terminal fun. Not sure how long the demo will last, but try it out.

Over the past couple of months I've been working on a TUI framework heavily inspired by Flutter, written in Dart. The API is modeled after Flutter. StatefulComponent, setState(), Row, Column, Expanded, ListView. There have been some discussions about performance of TUIs recently, and I think Dart is actually a great language for writing TUIs in. It compiles down to fast native code, is cross-platform, and has great developer ergonomics. JIT compilation for development (which enables hot reload) and AOT compilation for production binaries. What's really cool is stateful hot reload. If you…
