I built an email client with local AI. open source it?

1 pointseibrahim2mo ago1 comments

I have a semi-working desktop email client that works with gmail and outlook and uses local AI to add AI magic to your inbox without sending it to openai or claude or gemini.

The app is geared towards developers with lots of dev-friendly features. It's not ready yet, and my plan was to sell it for 100 bucks or so...

It's working and I am using it daily but there are still a lot of bugs.

It's a pretty huge undertaking, and I have been debating whether I should open source it or not. Any thoughts?

Can I still sell the app after I open source it? Would you pay for it? Would you contribute to it?

Thanks in advance.

This sounds really cool! I love the idea of keeping AI processing local. I’m a big fan of privacy and performance.
