yea I didn't read it super closely, but I think setting it up as a test user keeps the oauth token for ~7 days. let me know what you find!
Yea I saw some Reddit threads about that…which was the final straw to just build it
Exactly! Love it! Is yours on GitHub? Would love to check it out
thank you! honestly gmail, superhuman, etc. should all just have "bad wifi mode" but until they do, might as well vibe code an open source alternative!
Marco looks really nice! would you consider open sourcing it?
thanks! totally agree on the the Google OAuth...it's not the end of the world, but certainly not the most user friendly to need to create a GCP project and create an OAuth client just to get your own Gmail API access!
yea it's fair that you can just use IMAP and sync before your trip then send after.
but I was on a flight, didn't have Gmail or Superhuman cached and could not get either to even load. I do suspect that if it were already loaded, Gmail probably would have functioned decently well.
still Gmail and Superhuman just seem...bloated. kinda cool to just have a simple, open source interface for the Gmail REST API.
appreciate the suggestion, but I like my gmail account! I just want a fast, stripped down interface. and BAREmail is free, doesn't need a backend, and open source. looks like Fastmail is paid only?

It's open source, has no backend, and you can just set it up for yourself. Takes ~3 mins to...

I'm a big fan of Ben Thompson's writing on Stratechery and was inspired by a listener submission to a recent episode of his Sharp Tech podcast. The listener suggested "BenLLM" as a better way to search and interact with past content. Ben sort of downplayed the idea, but my wheels immediately started turning.There have been times in the past when I've wanted to search for topics and get a...
