Thread Context Cards — Context for Gmail

What it does

Thread Context Cards adds inline hover cards to Gmail. Hover over any sender name and see recent conversations, attachments, upcoming meetings, past events, Drive files, and email statistics — without leaving your inbox. Unlike other Gmail tools that clutter your interface or require sidebar panels, we work as a simple hover. The card appears in under 300ms, loads core data in under 1 second, and progressively fetches additional context in the background.

Inline hover cards for Gmail. See recent threads, attachments, calendar events, and Drive files for every contact — without leaving your inbox.

Inline context cards for Gmail — recent conversations, attachments, meetings, and Drive files for every contact. No tab switching. No searching. Context-switching kills focus. You open an email and spend 30 seconds hunting for the information you need to respond intelligently. Threads in Gmail. Meetings in Calendar. Files in Drive. Your contact's story is spread across multiple tabs. Every context switch costs 23 minutes of productive focus, researchers say. Even quick checks add up to hours lost daily. Coffee catch-up? Budget approval? Investor update? Remembering the last conversation shouldn't be the hardest part of your day. Move your mouse over any sender name in Gmail.

  I got frustrated with Gmail's lack of customization, and built an extension for myself. It doesn't do much other than modify how Gmail is displayed in Chrome. Does it as minimally as possible (that I can engineer). Done locally, zero remote processing.

  Hey guys, so I've been building my own Gmail for the past few weeks and would like your feedback. Find a preview here: http://i.imgur.com/UDz2y.png (Mouse cursor is over the "REPLY" button, to show the hover-effect) The app you see in the screenshot is what I've been using in the past week and it starts to feel better than the gmail interface. Just a quick explanation: - It's conversation-based like Gmail. - Conversations with new emails are on the left. - Conversations may be labeled ... based on predefined filters or manually. - Every conversation stays in the left sidebar until marked…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
