    Hey Hacker news, Over the last couple months, I've been hacking with a friend on an email client for gmail that is similar to superhuman. A little backstory, we think that superhuman, in it's current implementation is vim-like. We hope to mostly match the performance and usability there and expand it into something more vscode-like. Looking for feedback and suggestions!

    Hi HN, I’m Nizar, and I’m building Zero (https://0.email) — an AI-powered email client that manages your inbox for you. Email hasn’t changed in decades, even though the way we work has. The average knowledge worker now spends close to 30% of their week on email, constantly reacting, replying, and sorting through noise. It’s become one of the biggest productivity sinks in modern work. At the same time, AI has transformed how we write, plan, and collaborate — yet our inboxes are still stuck in the past. I built Zero to fix that. Zero automatically prioritizes, organizes, and even…

    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…

    It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
