  We as developers, build and maintain many services in code, one of them being notification service. In the last 5-7 years, API-to-user communications have exploded across SMS, email, chat apps, mobile, and web push. As a consequence, notification service handling them has become quite complex.

  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.
