Show HN: Use email as Web Portal

1 point

12 years ago

I want to do as many things as possible in email, which is simple and cross platform. So I built Snipek:

http://snipek.com

Basically, you send command to [email protected], and Snipek replies to you the things you request for. It's just like browsing a web portal (e.g., reddit, yahoo, ...), where there are many channels (e.g., news, sports, tech, ...).

So, with Snipek, you can do these things right in your mailbox:

- Read Yahoo news, TechCrunch, hacker news, reddit, and re/code.

- Read well-formatted articles from any web page.

- Use twitter.

- Check stock price, and weather.

- Take notes, and mange notes.

Of course, it's not perfect. There are bugs and lack many functionalities. But I use it everyday myself and keep improving day by day. Just want to simplify life in my mailbox.
