Hi HN, I'm one of the two people behind GotEmail. It's a native Mac mail client for IMAP accounts (Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Fastmail, any IMAP). Things we focused on: speed, a calm UI, and small things like copying a sign-in code or opening a magic link from a login email in one click. AI drafting and summaries are there, but only when you ask. It's a one-time purchase, $19.99, for every Mac you own. Happy to answer anything, and critical feedback is very welcome.

DataCube: A Relational Aggregation Operator Generalizing Group-By, Cross-Tab, and Sub-Totals (1997)https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0701155

Abstract: Data analysis applications typically aggregate data across many dimensions looking for anomalies or unusual patterns. The SQL aggregate functions and the GROUP BY operator produce zero-dimensional or one-dimensional aggregates. Applications need the N-dimensional generalization of these operators. This paper defines that operator, called the data cube or simply cube. The cube operator generalizes the histogram, cross-tabulation, roll-up, drill-down, and sub-total constructs found in most report writers. The novelty is that cubes are relations. Consequently, the cube operator can be…

Hi HN. I partnered with Simon Kley to build this project at innovation intelligence hackathon (Berkeley). Simply, we’re building a usefulness score on top of search for ai-agents. Instead of agents reading 10 ranked relevant pages, we run a usefulness score first and give it only those that pass. We’re able to save token and cost with this and slightly better answers. During our research, we found out that the current search results already do justice when it comes to simple queries. The rankings work well. They struggle when the task requires deep research or recency matters. So, we deci…

We believe that it will prove most useful in creative software though, and allow creatives to make essentially anything they want.
