unattach VS community-edition

Unattach is fantastic for separating email from attachments in a logical, manageable way that eliminates having to decide what to keep and what to delete. Highly recommended.

If you do decide to stick with gmail, here's what we do: Buy more storage (100 GB is pretty cheap, $20 a year or so?). And run Unattach to remove the attachments from emails but keep the message text.

Hello HackerNews!

I have a full-time job, but love building productivity tools in my spare time. Some time ago, my dad told me that his Gmail account was full and asked whether I could help. I built a simple app for him, and later decided to make it into a product. With the recent news that Google is discontinuing free storage for photos, more and more people are facing a similar problem.

Unattach (https://unattach.app) is a desktop app for downloading and/or removing Gmail attachments from many emails at once. You can use it to free up your Google storage, which is shared between Gmail, Photos and other Google apps. For most people, using Unattach is cheaper than buying more Google storage; for tech-savvy users, it’s free.

The hardest thing about Unattach has been balancing user trust and commercial potential. The app requires edit permissions to the user’s Gmail account in order to remove attachments. Therefore, it is important to establish trust between myself and the user. Many users felt significantly more at ease if they could build the app from source (or at least knowing that they could), in addition to the app being certified by Google. On the other hand, the more revenue I receive from the app, the more incentive I have to continue supporting it.

The model I ended up with involves sharing the source code (under a restricted Shared Source license: https://github.com/rokstrnisa/unattach), so tech-savvy users can build and run it for free, and offering pre-built installers for a fee. That is, the software is free and the source is shared (though it's not “open source”), and users pay for the convenience of installers. The model has been working reasonably well.

Users of Unattach are generally very happy with it, so I wanted more people to know about it. I launched the app on ProductHunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/unattach) earlier today, and am now sharing it with HackerNews.

Happy to answer any questions you may have!

Rambox - Basic free account supports unlimited services, $5/month to unlock features (e.g. spellchecker, customizable workspaces), $144 for lifetime license. Performance on my computer was awful. Also, the app itself doesn't look or feel as polished as their website, imo.

Just went to getferdi.com and I get redirected to rambox.app so I can only assume rambox bought getferdi

Ferdi website now leads to rambox.app.

Now it seems like getferdi.com redirects to https://rambox.app/.. looking very similar to what ferdi was. Is this like a new version ?

If it helps, I use Rambox instead of seperate instances of messaging clients (Slack, Teams, Discord, etc). I can create multiple tabs, each with a single workspace of slack, and keep them together with my other messaging apps.

You could also just use Discord in a browser, or (thats what I do), using it in a "Multi-Messenger" like Rambox. https://rambox.app/

The source code for version 0.7.x is available in the repo https://github.com/ramboxapp/community-edition/. Where can we find the source code for the new version 2.x.x? And where can we file issues for this version?

You can try its predecessor: Franz https://meetfranz.com/ If you want to check something else, you can go with Rambox https://rambox.app/ If none of them works for you, then you should check other apps from alternativeto
