The mnm project is building a legitimate email replacement: a client[1], a server[2], and a simple protocol[3] between them. (Legitimate, i.e. n-identity, decentralized, store-and-forward, open protocol, open source.)

https://mnmnotmail.org
https://twitter.com/mnmnotmail

Both client and server are written in Go. The client UI runs in a localhost browser tab, rendered by Vue.js. The client has had nine preview releases since Spring 2019.

Contributors welcome!

PS: Ambitious? Yes and no. Establishing a new protocol is a process, but email as we know it is headed for extinction, because phishing has made it a trivial cybercrime portal.

Here's the backstory to mnm, in a draft article not yet published. I'd love any feedback...

I do have some feedback, but I think this is off-topic for golang-nuts. Where would you like it to be sent?

My suggestion would be to enable Discussions on the project's github page. This is a relatively new feature in Github, but it's being used by some projects e.g. Netbox.

I've just posted an online demo of the mnm client. Feedback welcome!
