I made an email app inspired by Arc browser
Email is one of those tools we check daily but its underlying experience didn’t evolve much. I use Gmail, as probably most of you reading this. The Arc browser brought joy and taste to browsing the web. Cursor created a new UX with agents ready to work for you in a handy right panel. I use these three tools every day. Since Arc was acquired by Atlassian, I’ve been wondering: what if I built a new interface that applied Arc’s UX to email rather than browser tabs, while making AI agents easily available to help manage emails, events, and files? I built a frontend PoC to showcase the idea. Try…

In plain words
This email app redesigns Gmail's interface using the visual approach of the Arc browser, pairing it with AI agents accessible in a side panel to help manage emails, events, and files. Built as a frontend proof-of-concept, it targets daily email users who want a more modern, visually cohesive experience with AI assistance. The standout feature is applying Arc's interface principles to email management rather than just browsing.

Migma AIOct 2025 · migma.ai · ▲483After our email campaign generated 30% more revenue at my previous startup, I knew we needed to double down on email marketing. Problem was, our workflow was absolutely broken: - Designer in Figma (day 1-2) - Copywriter with ChatGPT (day 2-3) - Developer to code it for 40+ email clients (day 3-5) - Back and forth for revisions (day 6-7) - $1500+ per campaign, weeks of delays I built Migma.ai to solve this. You paste your website URL, describe what you want ("announce our new feature using info from this blog post"), and get a complete, on-brand, responsive email in 30 seconds. Migma: -…
Apparent for GmailMar 2026 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲225I got frustrated with Gmail's lack of customization, and built an extension for myself. It doesn't do much other than modify how Gmail is displayed in Chrome. Does it as minimally as possible (that I can engineer). Done locally, zero remote processing. Currently built the following settings (want to add more soon): Conversations: * Show newest message first * Show every message in a thread (sometimes they're collapsed into numbered bubbles) * Remove AI overviews (retches) Layout/UI: * Minimize the search & top bar * Minimize the far left "rail" (Mail/Chat/Meet) * Hide a bunch…
