You are likely right about all of these things. I agree commercial E-mail providers don't currently have a reason to offer JMAP support. Thunderbird already has robust IMAP support so why change it. But JMAP provides a new avenue to E-

hrm, handful of new github stars in one day? That's odd. Must have gotten picked up by something. Oh, HN repost of a blog post I wrote 3 years ago, cool! To sum up my thoughts about this thread: Appreciate the great discussion! Whereve

Hello, author here! Not sure who posted this old blog article but great to see an interesting discussion and new interest in the project. Development is active and we always appreciate new feedback!

Sentiment analysis is not new, and I would imagine it's ancillary at best to a proper trading outfit. Well equipped market makers and HFTs make money on price movement (and exchange rebates). A flurry of out-of-the-money calls is unlik

I checked out the git source and built it from there. It was non-trivial to get it built and configured properly for JMAP, but I wanted the latest as the spec is still in flux.

Yep. Also I think they are using it for a subset of customers. While JMAP support in Cypht is still new, so far it's working just like IMAP, but my testing is limited since I just wrote the integration :)

by jasonmunro 8y ago
Nope, you are exactly correct. JMAP is just a much more modern and efficient way to connect clients and servers to access E-mail.

JMAP actually does support replacing both. My next TODO item for Cypht is integrating SMTP support with JMAP.

I have been running Open Source projects for about 15 years, which implies moderating the communities around those projects (in my case, very small communities). I'm familiar with toxic environments. I once sent a very stupid question

A digital library sort of implies centralizing? I think this thread explores how you can contribute to decentralization of the hosted content: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17685682

Blockchain actually could be used to provide data integrity in a distributed environment with known bad actors (presuming that they fall under the 50% threshold), but that is not applicable in this case since archive data is not stored in a

This will be my first year attending the annual event, and I'm super excited! I'm a long time fan of the Wayback Machine, even though my early work is terribly embarrassing :) Love what the archive does, which is so much more than

Your points are valid, but not entirely correct IMO. What you are describing as abuse is "quote stuffing". Sending in buy or sell orders to move the market with no intention of fulfilling said orders. When I worked for an exchange

No exchange operator is doing "gods work" :) Seriously though, you are correct. Market makers are an integral part of how the markets function. Do they skim money from trades because they are better equipped to read the market at

The liquidity comes from the HFT market maker's own money. Market makers are required to post bid and offers of a reasonable level of liquidity in all symbols they are registered to "make markets" in. It may seem like a simpl

Firms with enough money to spend _can_ get a more accurate view of the market. The issue is proprietary data feeds. A trading platform is required to disseminate information to the consolidated tape at the same rate they do for a private fe

While it's true that stock exchange operators are private companies, they are also SROs that undergo significant scrutiny from various government organizations (FINRA, SEC, etc). Most (all?) exchanges use "maker/taker" p

I'm terrible at naming things. It is supposed to be a homophone for "sift", and it's just odd enough that the domains were super cheap :) I toyed around with adding a phonetic "sift" under the logo on the site,

We have an open issue at github for PGP support, and it's something I definitely want to pursue. The big concern is private key security and how to balance that with usability.

I felt that it most accurately represented my intentions for the software.

I did not, thanks for the info. Looks interesting.

I appreciate the suggestion, and will get a screenshot page added to the site. In the meantime, here are a few blog posts with more shots: https://unencumberedbyfacts.com/2016/09/08/cypht-webmail-scr... http

Wow, thanks for the kind words! I submitted this last night hoping to drum up some support for the project. I never dreamed it would be on the front page when I woke up!

Thanks for the feedback, and I agree. I love the idea of a docker image to create a demo environment.

Also, thanks for the Oauth2 recognition. It's perfect for a client like Cypht (I wish more providers supported it!).

by jasonmunro 10y ago
Thanks for your feedback! Cypht is a thin client that only accesses E-mail using IMAP (or POP3). No E-mail content is maintained locally except in the server side session, and the browser local storage (session only). Cypht does store your

This project has been a labor of love for me over the last 2.5 years. I'm interested in any feedback you have, and happy to answer any questions!
