Hi PH! 👋 I built LowFat Apps because I run 5 Gmail tabs at once for multiple accounts. That alone was eating 1GB+ of memory. LowFat brought that down to ~300MB. If you're on a MacBook with 8GB RAM, you'll feel the difference immediately. So I stripped it down to the essentials: → Read, write, search — that's it → Server-rendered HTML (with preact) → ~60MB memory, deployed on Cloudflare Workers → Fully open source (MIT) I still use Gmail when I need filters or advanced settings. LowFat is for the other 90% of the time. Happy to answer any questions! 🥬
