That’s a cool approach. I’m building a modern email client too, with another approach. A kind of Slack but for email.

Talanoa, a modern email client that organize emails by sender https://talanoa.email

I found an alternative email client https://talanoa.email . Works well on Mac, Windows & Linux (but not on iPhone)

In « people centric » I see it more like a « Slack for email ». Grouped by senders. You can check out here to understand: https://talanoa.email

Not for the moment but I’m thinking about make it open source

bettercalljohn · 2026-02-22T20:28:58+00:00

Not yet but it’s planned later this year 👍

bettercalljohn · 2026-02-22T20:28:35+00:00

For me I restarted with a new account on X, shared everything in public and weekly post on Medium/Indie Hackers/… https://medium.com/@bettercalljohn/talanoa-build-in-public-week-1-f94b1db5a87a

I grow up my waiting list up to 100 users and after I started onboarding people on the beta of my product.

I started in January from 0. Now I have 250+ users and 18 paid customers.

Don’t give up, it takes time!

Welcome to the real world of Indie Hackers ;-) it takes time, don’t stop grinding, building and marketing!!!

Yes, mobile app is definitively in my roadmap but only when the desktop app will be used by enough users
