ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
Fair enough, if we ever do a dedicated client, we would hopefully invest in something more efficient. Likely going to stay on browser for a while more though, since most people already have their browsers opens, having a tab open feels lightweight enough especially compared to an electron app.

Yeap, we hear you folks on the IMAP/SMTP support! Feel free to sign up on the email list or join our discord to keep up to date with developments!

Out of curiosity, What client do you use today? How's the experience been for the workflow that you use it for?

damn, this looks pretty cool, I might use my mouse a little too much for this but will give this a spin alongside mutt and see how they compare!

Do you daily drive Aerc? How's the experience been?

ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
Yeap, have used thunderbird an outlook.

Email client are a lot like pokemons, trying to collect them all!

What do you use today? And how do you find it?

Just hopped on shortwave and will pilot it for the next week or so.

Is the conversation view you are referring to like this screenshot? https://github.com/curdinc/skylar-email/assets/44563205/444f...

^ I just tried replying to the same email twice.

Totally get that an email client should really focus on letting you do what you want. What are you using today? And what's keeping on that client?

ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
fair enough, outlook will be coming soon.

Would love to pick your brain on what would make for a great email client

spoiler: it was a joke

true, really depends on your perspective.

I like to think that my 8 year old tortoise is fairly new.

But I also think that my 8 year old shirt is fairly old

What's your take on the keyboard-oriented approach?

> Can this client reply to emails with a custom From address, as catch-all domain users need?

Sadly it does not support either.

we're currently looking towards gmail(current) => outlook => protocol layer for now. However, will definitely keep note of it.

> How does this client compare to the leading open source email client, Thunderbird?

Took a shot at this here: https://github.com/curdinc/skylar-email/issues/61. I'd be glad to elaborate more as needed.

I'd love to know about your thunderbird experience.

ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
Heard that a lot. Most people I know have work paying for it. Mine does too.

Apart from pricing, I'd love to know - what problems have you faced while using superhuman? Any features that you miss from native gmail?

Hey Riordan, curious to know specifically what you're looking for?

But right on about Gmail, it's much easier for us to prototype and test than some of the other clients.

Also really appreciate the kind words! Means a lot to us at this early stage. Hopefully you do join the email list or discord so we can keep you posted on our progress!

ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
hey Riedel, that's something we plan to look into (after we nail gmail and add outlook) as I personally have a mailbox on IMAP too.

Do join our discord or mailing list so that we can keep you posted about it if you're interested!

I've also never heard of Mutt sadly :') but couple of you mention it already so it's definitely on my list of things to try today! What is your experiences with Mutt so far? How does it stack up with other more mainstream clients?

ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
I am actually not aware of mutt, but now that two others have mentioned it, I will definitely take a look!

Thanks!

do you use it? What do you use it most for?

ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
Was using their readme as a basis and it seems like I forgot to update one link which is affecting like half the folks :')

Thanks for pointing it out! Fix is on the way out!

ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
Stealing is the greatest form of flattery!

What do you love most about hey.com? Maybe we could steal you over ;)

ElasticBottle··on Show HN: Open-source superhuman like email client
Yeap.
