     |   | Based on my exploration of your EffiMail project, I can see it's a comprehensive email productivity tool with AI-powered features. Here's a high-quality Hacker News post that highlights the technical and business value:
Show HN: EffiMail – AI-powered email productivity suite with 12+ tools and 500K+ users
EffiMail is an open-source email productivity platform that combines AI-powered email generation with a comprehensive suite of email management tools. After 18 months of development, we've built something that saves users 4+ hours per week on email tasks.
What makes it interesting:
AI Email Writer: Context-aware email generation with customizable tones and templates
12+ specialized tools: Gmail generators, spam checkers, HTML-to-text converters, open/click trackers, read-time calculators
True multilingual support: Built on Next.js 15 with next-intl, supporting English, Chinese, and Japanese with proper i18n routing
Modern architecture: TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Zustand for state management, MDX for content
Privacy-first: No data collection, everything runs client-side where possible
Technical highlights:
Server-side rendering with static generation for performance
Built-in SEO optimization with automatic sitemap generation
Chrome extension with 500K+ active users
Comprehensive analytics integration (Google Analytics, Baidu, Vercel)
Component-based architecture with shadcn/ui
Open source approach: The entire codebase is MIT licensed. We've focused on creating a starter template that other developers can use to build their own email tools or SaaS products.
The Chrome extension has 2M+ emails optimized and maintains a 5-star rating. We're particularly proud of the multilingual implementation – it's not just translated text but culturally adapted content for different markets.
Would love feedback from the HN community, especially on the technical architecture and the open-source business model approach.
