Show HN: BAREmail ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ – minimalist Gmail client for bad WiFi

I’ve been frustrated one too many times by terrible airplane wifi and not being able to load Gmail or Superhuman when all I want to do is get a few simple text-only emails out the door. These clients have become pretty bloated with the assumption you’ve always got great bandwidth. So I vibe coded BAREMAIL. It’s open source, has no backend, and you can just set it up for yourself. Takes ~3 mins to setup API access via Google Cloud Platform (thanks for making this not super easy Google!) I tried to maintain nice design and some important keyboard shortcuts without getting to overBEARing.
