Once upon a time...

This is where it all begins.

The very first version of Talanoa is out in the wild — a humble yet ambitious start to rethinking the email experience. No more chaos. No more clutter. Just people-first conversations, a cleaner inbox, and a new kind of calm.

✅ Core features launched:

  • Google Sign-In and secure local data storage
  • A beautiful interface focused on people, not threads
  • Kanban-style to-do inbox to never miss a reply
  • Early-stage email sync engine (still growing 💪)
  • Support for Mac

This is just the beginning. Every pixel, every line of code is made with love and indie builder energy.

Thanks for being part of this journey.
