What it does
LowFat is an open-source Gmail client that strips away everything you don't need — no Meet, no Chat, no Tasks sidebar. Just read, write, search, done. Server-rendered on Cloudflare's edge (300+ cities, <50ms). Self-host or use the hosted version.
LowFat Apps is an open-source, lightweight third-party email client. Server-rendered, edge-deployed, and designed for low memory usage.
Full-featured webmail comes with calendar sidebars, embedded chat, and hundreds of megabytes of JavaScript. LowFat strips all that away and keeps just the core — read, write, search, done. An open-source, server-rendered client that stays out of your way. No calendar widget. No Meet popup. No Chat sidebar. Just the email features you actually use, running on minimal code. HTML is rendered on Cloudflare's edge network. Your browser receives lean, ready-to-display pages instead of megabytes of JS. No embedded Meet, no bundled Chat, no add-on panels. Fewer features means far less code in your browser. Leave it open all day. Runs on Cloudflare Workers across 300+ cities worldwide.…from lowfatapp.com

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
