  This project allows you to easily add a nice looking, mobile-friendly blog to your existing NextJS app without a lot of heavy dependencies or complex stuff to configure. You just set up a repo on GitHub with some markdown files with some metadata at the top, and it will automatically retrieve and convert the markdown to rich html&#x2F;css blog posts that works well with SEO. I made it for my own webapp because I wanted something simple and easy and didn't want to deal with a complex library&#x2F;system that does tons of stuff I don't care about.

  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…
