New comment by elieskilled in "Your inbox is a bandit problem"

elieskilled — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 21:04:25 +0000

Love it. One of the major challenges with email is that a lot of disparate content is mixed together.

I run a product called Inbox Zero (if you google the term we're the ones that come up first). I often suggest to users that they aim for "Reply Zero". They might get 100 emails per day, but only 5 need a reply. As long as those are handled they're probably good.

One of the challenges people face is that there's so much noise mixed together. Newsletter, conversations, receipts,... what you call "DBTC", and it's time consuming to sort it into buckets. And frankly, before AI it might not have been worth the effort. But with AI assistance, it's actually very doable. Inbox Zero offers it, as do a bunch of others. What you call DBTC could potentially be sorted for you into that folder automatically.

PS. not trying to shill our own product. It's open source so you can even self-host it without paying us anything.

Archive or read is what most people ask. Benefits to both approaches.

Archive instead of delete is what we recommend to Inbox Zero customers. As you won’t accidentally delete something important.

But if you really need to claim back that space our tool offers ways to delete the stuff that doesn’t matter.

Great post. I’m the founder of Inbox Zero. Open source ai email assistant.

It does a much better job of drafting emails than the Gemini version you shared. Works out your tone based off of past conversations.

Doing my best to make email fun.

If your boss asks why you didn't get back to them explain you accidentally used the spam bomb on their emails.

Hey,

One good case study is Maybe Finance. It was a dead project. They open sourced it. And it went viral. And they raised $1.5m within another few weeks. The virality was on GitHub stars and Twitter.

I run a channel about open source that may give you ideas of what other COSS projects are doing: https://youtube.com/elie2222

My COSS is called Inbox Zero: https://getinboxzero.com.

Nice! Great work! I’ve been building https://getinboxzero.com. It’s open source

elieskilled — Mon, 13 May 2024 22:22:48 +0000

You can have open source and still charge for it. For example, getinboxzero.com or posthog.com or cal.com. Many others too.

Projects use different licenses for enterprise and regular features. Cal does that for example.

Novu doesn’t commit their enterprise features to their codebase. And they symlink those features in. Their project is all MIT because of this.

Really cool. Had a lot of people reach to me because of this.
