# Email Demo Project Welcome to the Email take home assignment! ## The Project The project is to build a minimal, terminal-inspired email client, with the following requirements: - Email client can either be in the terminal (i.e. a TUI) or a web app - Should have basic email viewing + sending functionality - Can use a fake backend (DB, in-memory, etc) or real IMAP/POP/JMAP/etc backend - Does **not** have to handle rich text messages, just plaintext This project tests your ability not only to code, but to deal with ambiguity and open-endedness, which is essential in R&D projects like Kagi Labs. ## Inspiration Your implementation should take inspiration from existing terminal email tools like [aerc](https://aerc-mail.org/), [mutt](http://www.mutt.org/), or even something like [himalaya](https://github.com/pimalaya/himalaya). It should feel *fast* and *intuitive*, and you can choose which email flows you'd like to implement. ## Some Guidelines - Do the project in a way that shows off your skills as a developer - Deliverable is the completed project, in a GitHub repo and deployed anywhere so we can easily test it. - Create a README file with setup instructions And don't hesitate to tell us if you have any questions! ## Deadlines Project should be submitted within two weeks. If life happens, just let us know! ## Things We Look For - Code quality and organization - Problem-solving approach - Adding your own personal touches Good luck and have fun!
