SandCrab2024 · sandcrab.io · ▲152Hello HN. SandCrab is an app I originally had the idea for and hacked together over a couple of weekends last October.

I’ve also added support for configuring and generating presigned urls directly in the app which is nice. The app…

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…
