Hi!

I'm hononymously sending this email about sending an
email from an unhosted web app from an unhosted web app:

> 9. Sending and receiving email from unhosted web apps
> Unhosting email
>
> The posterchild of hosted web apps is arguably GMail.
> It was one of the first apps to use AJAX to its full
> potential, and redefined our expectations of what can
> and cannot be done inside a browser. This also means
> it is one of the hosted web apps that will be hardest
> to replace.
>
> The idea of unhosting email is simple: take, essentially,
> the client-side javascript app that for instance GMail
> puts into your browser, and make its backend swappable,
> so that the user can connect their own backend at runtime.

Like every week, comments very welcome! :)


Cheers,

Hi Faried,

Thanks for the links! Very useful, especially the "and Max
Ogden has written a JavaScript version" part of the second
one. :)


Cheers,
Michiel
