GoodByEmail -A Privacy-First Email Inbox Cleaner. No OAuth Token Needed
Hello HN! My inbox was overflowing with unread emails and 98% full. I wanted a clean inbox, but I didn't want to hand over my logins or OAuth tokens to third-party tools. That's why I've created GoodByEmail, a privacy-first inbox cleaning tool. On my first sweep with GoodByEmail, I reclaimed over 5GB of storage space from small emails alone—none of it from attachments. This wasn't just about creating another inbox cleaning tool; I wanted to build one I'd be comfortable using. GoodByEmail stands apart from other inbox cleaning tools by not requiring you to grant access to your email account.…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello HN! My inbox was overflowing with unread emails and 98% full. I wanted a clean inbox, but I didn't want to hand over my logins or OAuth tokens to third-party tools. That's why I've created GoodByEmail, a privacy-first inbox cleaning tool. On my first sweep with GoodByEmail, I reclaimed over 5GB of storage space from small emails alone—none of it from attachments. This wasn't just about creating another inbox cleaning tool; I wanted to build one I'd be comfortable using. GoodByEmail stands apart from other inbox cleaning tools by not requiring you to grant access to your email account. You don't have to "trust" GoodByEmail, since, by design, your emails are never uploaded to GoodByEmail's servers. No OAuth, no third-party permissions. Heck, you can even run the tool offline. Addressing the Real Inbox Challenge: Most inbox cleaning tools focus on unsubscribing from mailing lists, which is great for stopping future clutter but doesn't necessarily help with the heaps of old emails already in our inboxes—many of which aren't even from mailing list senders. GoodByEmail's inbox analytics feature addresses this challenge by showing users exactly who their biggest inbox space offenders are and how much space all those smaller emails take up. Oh, and of course, I've also sprinkled in a handy unsubscribe feature. I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or questions on this. https://www.goodbyemail.com

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
