Spyglass looks interesting, providing a unified search GUI for which I use a bunch of CLI search tools (ripgrep, ripgrep-all, and now bogrep) as well as some simple bash scripts.
Somehow I still prefer some CLI-based tooling though which I can configure as needed instead of a fully-fledged GUI-based solution.

"Rewind compresses, transcribes, encrypts, and stores your data locally so only you have access." sounds good.
Was your CPU usage ok when running the background service?

Interesting setup! Personally, I would be cautious to use such a screenshot service though. Even if self-hosted, it could screenshot credentials, environment files, and my password manager for example, which would then be stored in plaintext somewhere?
So I would rather prefer to "keep control" by using a search utility when needed instead of scanning the background permanently.

Using Bogrep, I could only find https://tenderowl.com/work/frog/ in my bookmarks which is a bit related, but doesn't seem to be what you're looking for.

Thanks, yep I'm currently working on proper support for Bogrep on macOS.

Forwarding is clear, but how did you set up the "send as" feature?

IMO, building a social network is quite difficult nowadays because you can't monetize it right away. So you either have to bootstrap as a side project and build a community for years or getting paid by VC money early on.
We tried something similar [1] a few years ago. The limit is 5 posts per day. Our approach was minimalistic in a sense as you could post links only and no text, pictures, or videos.
We named it Turtle, symbolizing the opposite of the chatty twitter bird. It wasn't so clever from an SEO point of view though.

Thanks for trying.
Difficult to change a business model if it's working quite well (financially). Long-term thinking and short-term bonus payments don't align.
Kudos for your decision to leave.

Concerning noscript, is this [1] still a thing?
[1] NoScript is harmful and promotes malware - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12624000

I'm still fine with Thunderbird as a MUA (more or less). Using number 1 and 4 as shortcuts to mark an email as "todo" or "urgent". Invitation to appointments (ics file format) can be accepted as well. Integration of contacts is a paint point though.
For email automation I have written a lightweight CLI in Rust [1] which supports MIME and SMTP. I'm currently integrating sendmail's capabilities as well, so that it can be used both as a MUA (message user agent) and MTA (message transfer agent). Cargo's feature flags will hopefully give you a UNIX-like experience (only compile the features you want to use).
In general, I share your sentiment. Email is still the best protocol to contact people outside of your organization. It's a pitty that encrypted email somehow haven't prevailed. The matrix protocol might be better suited for standardized and encrypted communication.
I would argue that every citizen should get a state-issued email address which then can be used for official communication with public authorities (signing and encrypting being a prerequisite). In Germany, you still get so much paper via regular mail. Even the ten-page Covid-19 quarantine order is send by post. It only arrives when quarantine is already over. (Admittedly, you get this order by phone, too, and they are asking for your email address.)
