Show HN: Open source mobile email client built with HTML/CSS/JS

16 pointsby nicholasreedabout 12 years ago
Hey HN,<p>I've been working on an email client and wanted to get some feedback!<p>Minimail is built on Phonegap, so it uses HTML/CSS/JS for everything user-facing. The app also uses emailbox (a related project of mine) as the backend API for receiving/parsing/sending emails.<p>I think email clients need a huge UX/UI overhaul, and so I'm trying to build a flexible/hackable email client that anyone can customize to fit their email workflow.<p>Thanks for any feedback!<p>Website: https://minimail.herokuapp.com/<p>Email: nick (at) getemailbox.com

I do not think that you should claim that this is open source [1] when you have not decided on a license to release it under [2].<p>[1] <a href="http://opensource.org/docs/osd" rel="nofollow">http://opensource.org/docs/osd</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/emailbox/minimail_mobileapp/issues/1" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/emailbox/minimail_mobileapp/issues/1</a>

Thanks for sharing. Could you describe these 2 features in more detail?<p>1) Stop receiving notifications, and read Leisure emails on your down time.<p>2) Pretend an email arrives at a different time
