Product Context

Purpose

A Forwarder Inbox that uses AI to choose if it's important and if so forward it to my real email. It also serves as a junkmail box for me. Fork on Val Town to use.

Problems Solved

  • Accessibility: Provides access to emails without the need for external email clients.
  • Management: Allows users to view and organize their inbox directly through a web interface.
  • Integration: Works within Val Town's unique environment, leveraging its capabilities for email triggers and data storage.

How It Works

  • Email Reception: Incoming emails are captured via an email trigger defined in reciever.ts and stored in a SQLite database.
  • Email Display: The webmail.ts script fetches emails from the database and renders them in an HTML interface, displaying key information like sender, subject, and receipt time.
  • Database Interaction: Utilizes Drizzle ORM for type-safe and maintainable database operations, ensuring data integrity and ease of schema management.

User Experience Goals

  • Simplicity: Offer a clean, intuitive inbox view that requires minimal user effort to navigate.
  • Responsiveness: Ensure the interface loads quickly and operates efficiently within Val Town's serverless constraints.
  • Reliability: Maintain data consistency and provide accurate email status (read/unread) through robust database interactions.
