  • Show HN: InstantDB – The Modern Firebase
    How about (inspired by another HN post) - a rebuild of a TUI for email, given how its built: https://blog.sergeantbiggs.net/posts/aerc-a-well-crafted-tui-for-email/ https://aerc-mail.org/ It seems that building a version of this Aerc Email TUi with Instant is a completely doable? Might be an interesting tutorial to build out an Instant FroBenDB (Instant is an instant Front-BackendDB :-) --- btu the txtual nature... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
  • Aerc: A Well-Crafted TUI for Email
    The official site has video of it in use. https://aerc-mail.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
  • Email and Git = <3
    You have some points, for some I do think it isn't as bad as you write. FWIW, some comments inline. > - You can't subscribe to a single PR/bug/feature-request thread. Subscription to the mailing list is all-or-nothing. And no, setting up email filters is not a reasonable solution. You can use tools like public-inbox or lei, the former is hosted for bigger projects on https://lore.kernel.org/ If you're interested,... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • git-appraise – Distributed Code Review for Git
    > Another problem is how badly email threading is displayed in these clients. Email UI is still abysmal. Fair point. However, given that the current alternative is "use another service entirely (e.g. GitHub)", I think it would be fair to assume that devs could choose a good e-mail client and learn how to format such e-mails correctly. It works for Linux, for instance. I started using Aerc, and I love it:... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • A Quick Guide to Mutt
    For fans of Mutt/NeoMutt looking to try something new, I've been getting a lot of mileage out of Aerc[1] and can recommend it as a somewhat more approachable alternative for the Mutt-curious. [1] https://aerc-mail.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Codeberg (a non profit code hosting platform) launches Forgejo (a fork of gitea)
    Try aerc, I recently set it up and it was really easy to do. The only tricky part was making it so my password is read from the KDE wallet instead of being stored as plain text in the config file. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • it's not a text editor if i can't use vim bindings
    I'm not sure how much longer, but at least for me aerc still works with Outlook e-mails. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • How do applications store passwords and other sensitive data?
    Some time ago I wanted to give the aerc email client a try, but then I deleted it when I found out that it stores the password in plain text. But now I wonder, how do other applications store sensitive information like passwords? For example in KMail I only entered my password initially and the application stored it somewhere.

  • Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?
    I tried it in the past and it worked quite well, except for Slack: I got it working, but it wasn't great. For email, I can suggest aerc [1]: lovely piece of software! 1: https://aerc-mail.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Meli – email client in the terminal, in the spirit of mutt
    Any comparison with aerc (https://aerc-mail.org) could be nice. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Meli – email client in the terminal, in the spirit of mutt
    Love the recent efforts on building new terminal clients. I'm excited to try meli out. I've been using https://aerc-mail.org/ as a daily driver for several months, but excited to try some others in this space. I found mutt a bit intimidating to configure, where aerc and meli seem more straightforward. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Anyone got a good solution for writing emails using nvim?
    Aerc works really well for me with neovim. I even use neovim as the pager to read emails. Easy to setup multiple gmail accounts and configuration is worlds easier than neomutt or mutt. Source: about 2 years ago
  • New Open source Go projects looking for contributors
    Not exactly a new project, but aerc is always welcoming towards new contributors. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Mutt – text-based mail client for Unix
    I've been using Aerc, works well for me. Has anyone tried both, and if so, what's your preference? https://aerc-mail.org. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • ProtonMail from Linux CLI?
    Https://aerc-mail.org/ also works well with Protonmail Bridge. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Use forums rather than Slack/Discord to support developer community
    I wish we’d just use email and let users pick the UX that works best in the moment. Hosted git options work great with email. Clients like aerc are tailored to the workflow: https://aerc-mail.org/ Spike on mobile let’s you pick traditional email or IM mobile UX. Could add a rudimentary editor with code complete help. No need need to spin up forums or Slack. Discourse is a git log. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
  • Linux is NOT Windows (2005)
    Thankfully. Also, in addition to not being a default anywhere, they are also not even implemented anywhere, besides "advanced" text editors, some browser plugins, and some very niche "nerdy" applications (aerc-mail comes to mind). It is very rare to find them in a usual graphical application that has few text controls. Source: about 3 years ago
  • Email client that isn't from the 90s?
    Aerc. First release 2 years ago. https://aerc-mail.org/. Source: about 3 years ago
  • Any existing implementations for the JWZ email threading algorithm?
    You might want to check if it's implemented in https://aerc-mail.org. Source: about 3 years ago
  • Git email flow vs. GitHub flow
    I use an email client I wrote for this purpose: https://aerc-mail.org/ Greg-KH has also written about his mutt workflow: http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2019/08/14/patch-workflow-with-mutt-2019/ Though his volume and needs are probably different from most users. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
