I like it. It's somewhat reminiscent of this one we used to use called Pine :) I think sourcehut guy made this, right?

edit: yep sourcehut guy. they also made this cool guide here: https://git-send-email.io/

Drew (sourcehut guy) wrote the original from the look of it, but that's now unmaintained and this is a fork: https://git.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc

rjarry is doing a good job of maintaining it now. I will eventually write a new mail client with the benefit of hindsight.

As a user and (rarely) contributor to aerc from pre and post transfer, I'm very curious to see what you'd build now having learned from aerc (and, perhaps, alps on the web site?).

Also sway, but hacker news doesn't always hold him in that high of an opinion, probably mostly of his Rust criticisms...

But I use many of his tools, all top notch!

HN is not one voice. Lots of people here admire his work.

Why do you feel the need to bring this up?

He has over 25k karma on here. The data doesn't fit your assertion.

I'm not worthy of high opinion yet I also have ~25k karma. Karma matters less than you think.

Well, I'm not suggesting HN karma is some kind of indicator of merit, only that it's the best indicator we have of whether someone's held in a high opinion on HN, which is what GGP was talking about.

For what it's worth, I'm an HN user and hold Drew and his work in very high regard.
