making #moggie, Part 1: A Read-Only Mail Client

https://www.mailpile.is/blog/2023-07-13_A_Read_Only_Mail_Client.html

I did it! I finished a milestone!

Now I gotta tell #NLNet to send me some money, and get started on the next one...

I just published a new blog post on the #Mailpile website, discussing the grant we are getting from #NLNet and what we are going to do with the money: https://www.mailpile.is/blog/2023-05-01_A_Mail_Client_in_Six_Steps.html

The tl;dr is that we are bringing #moggie from "a thing Bjarni hacks on as often as he can", to "a new terminal mode e-mail client which people should be able to use."

I'm pretty excited about this!

I wrote a long e-mail to #NLNet yesterday, answering questions they have about my #moggie / #mailpile v2 development plans.

How did I come up with X months? It's just how much time I have available! Do I have a roadmap? Not really, but it's in my head? Do I plan collaboration with other projects? Not just yet, I'm being introverted and stealthy still?

Not sure it's what they wanted to hear, but honesty is the only policy. I gave lots of details.

But maybe I *should* publish a better roadmap?

Our applications for #NLNet funding to work on #Mailpile and #moggie have not yet been rejected!

(We made it to round two.)

Fingers crossed.

Yes, at least on the Prosody blog, soon. My side of the work on this is part of a grant from #NLnet, and they encourage regular public updates 🙂
