Finally got a chance to start it. How do I see a mailing list, where do subscribe? Should I be able to see your test notes after being connected?
I think that if you're willing to work with something built in 12 ish hours you can test it now. It is very far from perfect, and honestly most of the code needs to be rewritten as like all hackathon projects, I focused on just building it quickly rather than building it properly š
But it works

I will add setup instructions tomorrow to quickly get started

I managed to have a successful login to the proxy server
You would create a folder in your email client with an npub deciminating the mailing list. It's not the most intuitive but it was a quick hackathon project š
Had some issues with finding the notes. The first notes are starting to show up. Very cool. I'm imagining that something like this could be expanded to get DMs or with nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqh0uj825jgcr9lzxyp37ehasuenq070707pj63je07n8mkcsg3u0qmn5qdr ? I'll play around with it some more and see.
Very impressed so far!
Yeah, it's a bit flaky so far.
It technically works after you reload the inbox from your email client a few times, but honestly, when I get back to this as a serious part of another project, I'll rewrite most of the code to make it more robust.
I plan to integrate a similar concept into Eve, the main product I'm slowly working on, a tool for closed community networks.
DMs will definitely be supported, as will group conversations.
Iām starting to get a hang of it. Will keep an eye on your Eve project š
