A personal Gmail▲127
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…

BAREmail – minimalist Gmail client for bad WiFi▲44
I've been frustrated one too many times by terrible airplane wifi and not being able to load Gmail or Superhuman when all I want to do is get a few simple text-only emails out the door. These clients have become pretty bloated with the assumption you've always got great bandwidth. So I vibe coded BAREMAIL. It's open source, has no backend, and you can just set it up for yourself. Takes ~3 mins to setup API access via Google Cloud Platform (thanks for making this not super easy Google!) I tried to maintain nice design and some important keyboard shortcuts without getting to overBEARing.
