Kanmail
Hey HN! Been a while.. last post for reference in 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22985055. Moved city, job and had two children since then which is wild :) Been working away shifting Kanmail over to a Go backend (using the excellent wails) and rewriting the frontend in TypeScript. This "new" v2 is much quicker, overcomes a bunch of old limitations (no age limit on paginating folders) and finally gets a working Linux AppImage (*my Linux test setup is somewhat limited and I expect there's plenty of edge cases here - hit me up if you have issues). Anyway, would love…
Kanmail launched on April 28, 2020 with 101 votes, #482 of 5,003 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.
What it does
Kanmail is an email client that works like kanban board. Keep your emails organised by dragging them between columns just like a Kanban board. View multiple streams of email messages in parallel. Abuse your inbox as a todo list, we'll support you!
Kanmail turns your email into a kanban board. Every account, one view — drag messages from chaos to done. Pay once, own it forever.
In the maker’s words, at launch

Sidemail 2.0Nov 2025 · sidemail.io · ▲306Hi all! I'm Kristyna, maker of Sidemail. I'd love to share with you what we've been building. We built Sidemail because sending emails from a SaaS app was way harder than it should be. Sidemail is made for developers and teams that want one simple place to handle SaaS emails with reliable delivery and no bloat. It has: - Everything for creating, managing and delivering SaaS emails in one platform, - Easy-to-use email API for sending password resets, receipts, etc. - Messenger for writing product updates and newsletters, - Email automations for onboarding and lifecycle flows, - Fast email…
LIAMFeb 2026 · doitliam.com · ▲111Hi HN, yesterday I missed a meeting and spent most of the day sending ~35 emails. That kind of inbox + calendar admin has been draining my time for a long while, so I built LIAM to fix it. It helps with: - Drafting replies in your tone (honestly a bit scary how close it gets) - Scheduling meetings and handling the back and forth - Prioritising important threads and organising the inbox Important: LIAM doesn’t send anything without approval. I’d love feedback on what you’d actually trust an email agent to do, and which email workflows you’d automate first. You are more than welcome to roast…
Make senders work to get into your inboxJul 2026 · captchainbox.com · ▲44Hi HN :) really excited to share this with you. The one thing AI reliably does is generate noise. Half the tools I see launch are just machines for producing more noise across more channels. And people are starting to see this in the form of emails in their inboxes as spam filters are struggling. There used to be a useful signal in email: the effort a sender put into customizing a message was a rough proxy for how relevant it actually was. AI killed that. Now it's customized slop with the appearance of effort with none of the cost. It is painful that the open internet / open channels…

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…

https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
