Minimal, no-JS web forum software2022 · github.com · ▲392Hello HN! I've found my SQL knowledge to be lacking, so I made a project that uses SQLite as a backend.

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.
