Hi PH! π 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:
β Read, write, search β that's it
β Server-rendered HTML (with preact)
β ~60MB memory, deployed on Cloudflare Workers
β 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! π₯¬

This is so relatable. Gmail tabs are RAM hogs. Does it support multiple accounts switching easily?

@daniel_rachlinΒ Hey Daniel! Yes, totally agree β that's literally why I built this π Currently you open one tab per account, but multi-account switching UI is actually on my roadmap β the backend already supports it. Stay tuned! π₯¬

@daniel_rachlinΒ Honestly, this is my first ever Product Hunt launch β and your comment was the first I received. It genuinely inspired me!
I just shipped a multi-inbox dashboard (think TweetDeck, but for email β before they locked it behind a paywall). Built it with Claude in a few hours. π₯¬
