    One of my favorite developer tool companies in the world is Charm. So I was blown away when they said they were rethinking how email could be sent using the terminal. Pop is a Text-based User Interface (TUI) that allows you to send emails without having to switch context from your command-line interface. Here's why I'm obsessed with Pop: 1. You can write an email body with AI 2. You can easily install using Homebrew 3. You can do some really powerful stuff like generating a PDF and sending an invoice via email entirely from the command line The email sending part is taken care by Resend,…

    Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Zero▲845

    Hi HN, I’m Nizar, and I’m building Zero (https://0.email) — an AI-powered email client that manages your inbox for you. Email hasn’t changed in decades, even though the way we work has. The average knowledge worker now spends close to 30% of their week on email, constantly reacting, replying, and sorting through noise. It’s become one of the biggest productivity sinks in modern work. At the same time, AI has transformed how we write, plan, and collaborate — yet our inboxes are still stuck in the past. I built Zero to fix that. Zero automatically prioritizes, organizes, and even…

    I recently started writing Go professionally, after spending several years working mostly in Elm. Coming from Elm, I was naturally drawn to the Bubble Tea framework because of its Elm-like architecture and functional style. That made it a great fit for a hobby project to deepen my Go knowledge. The result is fwtui – a terminal UI for managing UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) on Linux. What it does: Browse, add, and remove firewall rules Easily apply popular default profiles (e.g., SSH, HTTP, PostgreSQL) or create a custom one Understandable ports syntax with TCP/UDP support and range…

    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…
