Creator here. Glad that HN rediscovered my old side project. All the code is freely available on GitHub [1]. It's running on a tiny f1-micro GCE instance which is currently down due to the traffic. I don't have time to fix it right now, but it should resolve itself once traffic dies down. The data source is also several years out of date at this point, so the links it returns may not match current reality. Other than that, it should still work! I'm currently building an AI email app called Shortwave [2]. I promise that has much better uptime and more consistent updates!

Definitely gonna try it out, I've been frustrated with Gmail's inability to sub-segment it's main categories of smart labels in a good way, and it's a long term battle to not miss important emails amid the clutter of time waster stuff. Tried another paid for client "mimestream" which delivers a real gmail desktop app experience, but doesn't really address this.

I have been using shortwave for quite some time off and on. I absolutely don't appreciate it's shifted focus / pivot on the AI hype train. Shortwave itself can use that focus instead to add more productivity features instead. It's interesting to see you now pitching it as an "AI email app". If it's actually working you to gain more traction than may be it's worth riding the wave but please don't loose focus. It was not meant to be an AI first email app, it was a better Google Inbox, a better email client.
