Need some help for , the Open source email client we all deserve
I'm looking for a designer that would be interested in contributing, especially to create images for the landing page before launching the waitlist
The type of images needed
There’s too many 'I made it overnight.' But not enough 'I struggled for years.'
This year I’ve:
- Faced rejection
- Pivoted multiple times
- Questioned my direction
That’s the reality of being an entrepreneur. It’s a journey of constant learning and resilience.
Worked all day with
@gmail
APIs today and it’s both cool and a pain sometimes but still pretty powerful!
Was able to get reply in thread and compose single email working properly which means the waitlist is going to be out there pretty soon 👀

I believed success came from hard work alone. I was wrong. It comes from:
- Working smart on the right things
- Building relationships
- Continuous learning
- Embracing failure as a stepping stone
The harder lesson? Learning to let go of what doesn't serve you or your goals.
Crossed the 500 followers mark, what an incredible journey and at the same time so much still cooking ! 🚀
This month is the month where and are going to be released, the pressure starts to grow but can't wait to have your

Just so damn close to launch the waitlist for the AI powered open source email client we deserve
It started as a beautiful UI built by
@shadcn
and being tired of paying 30$/month for
@Superhuman
so it’s time for an open source alternative 🚀
Will start
After thinking too much for too long it’s time to start my
#buildinpublic
journey 🎉
Day1: Discovered some awesome new tools and stacks after using the exact same ones for years and it feels like having super powers
Framework:
@nextjs
Styling:
@tailwindcss
@shadcn
ORM:
Move the email client from
@ClerkDev
to
@nextauthjs
and the control it gives you is pretty awesome !
Next step is adding multiple
@gmail
accounts, adding send capabilities and start to work on
#ai
integrations to be able to ask anything about your emails
#buildinpublic
how
Just had a fantastic brainstorming session ✨
I'm climbing towards building my best product.
Are there some wild, crazy ideas that actually worked out for you?
Let's hear them!!
#startup
#buildinpublic
Year one: struggling to find my niche.
Year two: doubled down on what I'm passionate about and saw growth.
Stop doing what feels 'safe.'
Start doing what excites you.
I did this for 1 year.
What’s stopping you?
So you have a brilliant, game changing concept, but where do you start? It's simple - start by building! Be courageous - fall down seven, stand up eight.
#buildinpublic
Find your tribe and lead with passion 💡
More than deserved 🚀
@shadcn
drastically changed to way I build products, it gives me great designs out of the box without any constrains.
The productivity gain is just tremendous congrats 🙌
I’ve been just blown away by this launch and by the video it’s just wow don’t have the words 🚀🚀
@joshm

#buildinpublic
where are you deploying your apps ? I have a Django/Nextjs monorepo
What if we could turn newsletter overload into something really useful?
Rather than just clogging up your inbox, they could be arranged as bite-sized, timely nuggets of wisdom!
Imagine arranging articles by relevance and receiving them when you're most likely to read.

A new stack won't fix everything but a strong community for an open source project will and the
@rails

Finished the week strong 🚀

What are you up to

Debating on some new features, possibly even a reinvention of the concept of startups finances. Curious about your insights!
