Gmail-TUI – Replicating the Gmail-Web Experience in Terminal

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.

gmail but in your terminal. Contribute to ivanjm3/gmail-tui development by creating an account on GitHub.

gmail-tui is a keyboard-driven terminal client for Gmail, written in Go on top of Bubble Tea's Model-View-Update framework. It talks to the Gmail API directly over OAuth2 (no IMAP/SMTP), and handles inbox browsing, search, labels, compose/reply, attachment transfer, and read/unread state entirely from the terminal. The project is structured as a small two-package system — a Gmail API client ( api/ ) and a terminal UI ( ui/ ) — with unit, property-based, and integration tests covering both. Bubble Tea enforces a strict Model-View-Update loop: user input and async API results become messages, Update produces a new model plus any follow-up commands, View renders it. The API package is kept…

    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,…

  • Gottp – A Postman/Insomnia-Like TUI API Client Built in GoFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲5

    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 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…

  • Lovable▲1,477

    Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

  • I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
