hrm, handful of new github stars in one day?
That's odd. Must have gotten picked up by something.
Oh, HN repost of a blog post I wrote 3 years ago, cool! To sum up my thoughts about this thread: Appreciate the great discussion! Wherever you land on the validity of JMAP, as a long (long) time IMAP client developer I stand by my position that JMAP is a huge improvement over legacy IMAP. Not perfect, but walks a reasonable line between what IMAP client devs understand and the modern world of APIs 30 years later. Is it REST compliant or a SOAP derivative? Most likely no and yes. Does it only benefit client developers? Probably, but that is a big benefit to the E-mail ecosystem. IMO the biggest barrier to new and innovative E-mail clients is the obtuseness of the protocol itself, and JMAP goes a long way to bridge that gap. |
