Gmailtail – Command-line tool to monitor Gmail messages and output them as JSON
- love2read 1y agoWhat tool makes these readme’s for new github repos that are bulletpointed lists with features, always prefixed by an emoji?
- maximevalette 1y agoBasically any LLM

- yapyap 1y agoAI, I presume (but I’m not sure) that the code “agent” they are using creates it.
- bravesoul2 1y agoTool is an insult when applied to a human...
- diggan 1y agoNot specifically about readmes/GitHub repos, but I've noticed some LLMs like Sonnet and GPT4.1 are really enthusiastic about doing emoji-prefixed lists for some reason.
- sunrunner 1y agoI think this trend has been around for a while now (it started to become more noticable for me at least a couple of years ago). At first there seemed to be a correlation between how 'cool' the project was and the number of emoji, but now it seems like it's as expected as just having a README itself. I've definitely seen _more_ decorated READMEs, and I can't help but feel like there's an inverse correlation between emoji count and readability.
- username135 1y agoWhen ever I see tons of emojis in a list/faq/readme I first think of LLM output.
- jdironman 1y agoI do as well when I see: # Code Comments Every Few Lines
- vanrohan 1y agoIt's probably LLM generated. Adding a fun/cool factor to the project. I created a Chrome Extension where you can "emojify" any text with a right-click. https://emoji-bot.com https://emoji-bot.com
- 3r7j6qzi9jvnve 1y agoThis just polls every x (default 30) seconds; if you use IMAP you can do better with IDLE (e.g. I pipe `fetchmail --check` to something that triggers a sync to immediately get new mails)
- _flux 1y agoI wonder though if also the Gmail interface supports something like this? It seems it's pretty fast at receiving email.
- kosolam 1y agoThere is this generic tool: https://github.com/pimalaya/himalaya https://github.com/pimalaya/himalaya
- jrop 1y agoThanks for this! Exactly what I was looking for.

- dataflow 1y agoThere are pub/sub notifications but it's a bit of a pain to get working. You need an HTTP endpoint the server can reach for push notifications, I think, not long polling.
- kevincox 1y agoThe GMail web client definitely doesn't create an HTTP endpoint to receive updates. But the API it uses is likely proprietary and private (even if it was built on top of the public API there would be a backend bridging the two)
- basemi 1y agoIf I read it right, it's built on Gmail API Are there any other provider agnostic tools with similar capabilities?
- szszrk 1y agoI guess JMAP was created to also deal with this. I'm not sure how far are we in implementation on clients side. https://jmap.io/spec.html https://jmap.io/spec.html
- MangoToupe 1y agoI can't imagine google ever supporting something that useful.

- worldsayshi 1y agoIs there any good library or tool that let's me programmatically/easily or semi-automatically delete mail by query in gmail? The built in tools are not good enough. Does Thunderbird work with gmail nowadays?
- nathants 1y agoJust have SES put the email in s3, then do stuff.
- nisegami 1y agoOne step closer to fully closing the loop on using LLMs to automate white collar work.
- rubslopes 1y agoIs it just me, or is there a trend to make modern web applications accessible on the terminal?
