Hey everyone! It’s been a while since my last post. Facet.ink is still in development, and we’re excited to release a new version soon. 😊

Today, I’d like to share a new concept—not a business, but an idea I’ve been working on. I've created a simple proof-of-concept app (open source) to bring it to life. You can check it out at withnela.org.

Let me introduce Nela. I’ve always wondered why email clients haven’t really evolved much since their introduction long ago. I believe the main reason for this stagnation is the sheer complexity of email’s underlying infrastructure and protocols. Nela aims to change that.

It’s a vision for a new protocol designed for textual communication, similar to email, but streamlined. Nela abstracts the email experience, offering just two API endpoints for message exchange. You can explore the documentation on GitHub: github.com/fvonx/nela.

I’m excited to hear your thoughts—does this idea resonate with you? 😊

Thanks! Matthias
