    Over the past year I’ve been building a set of operational panels for Django: - Redis inspection - cache visibility - Celery task introspection - URL discovery and testing All of these tools have been built inside the Django admin. Instead of jumping between tools like Flower, redis-cli, Swagger, or external services, I wanted something that sits where I’m already working.

    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.
