It's certainly a similar concept to an ad blocker. We have over half a million mailing list emails on record, and the scores and details of each are being updated daily. I think that the data we have is really useful for individuals wh

Thanks! Yessss, we did think it could be difficult to sell a browser extension on subscription. The market possibly suffers from a similar fate as app store sales - people are very used to getting them for free! That said we've had a f

The extension itself is open source [1], but it's fetching the data from our own API. The data itself is sourced mainly from our email unsubscribe service [2]. Would love to chat about your service, send me an email james(at)subscripti

Hey HN! I work on a web app that makes it easy to unsubscribe from mailing lists. Last year we started building an algorithm to rank subscriptions, with the intention of making it easier for our users to see at a glance what they should uns

The ranking system is calculated as a percentile - so the mailing lists are only ranked in relation to each other, rather than directly from the action taken. Also % of unsubscribes is only a portion of the algorithm used to calculate the o

It's not phrased very well in the article, but I think what the author is referring to is that Leave Me Alone assigns a score to each sender and as a feature of that you can see how many other users unsubscribed from it. For example wh

We did try to cherry pick stats that were relatable to the average person. There's a problem in talking about this in that the numbers can so big they're basically meaningless, which is why we introduced things like the equivalent

Yeah, that's what I thought too. There's a lot of energy there in the background to account for!

This is inline with their new restricted scopes policy [1]. However, this developer has been working on a solution with the Google API team since January, as by their own recommendations his app shouldn't require the audit. It seems th

The slow part is opening the IMAP connection and authenticating, after that it's fast. I guess it might depend on how these clients are maintaining their connections.

My use case is pretty specific, I'm only dealing with a small subset. I guess I was just lucky and can remain happily ignorant.

Validation of UIDs is thankfully something I don't have to worry about. It looks like a total nightmare.

It will be interesting to see how this develops. I've spent the last month implementing and testing IMAP support for my app [1]. It has... not been very fun. Before we were limited to providers with a REST API, so implementing IMAP sho

Having just this month implemented an IMAP client I can tell you it's blazingly fast for Gmail & Outlook. It's actually much faster and more efficient than using the Gmail API.
