BAREMAIL is a minimalist, offline-first Progressive Web App (PWA) Gmail client designed for low-bandwidth environments. It's interesting because it rethinks the email client as a tiny, cached app shell that communicates directly with the Gmail API, prioritizing speed and resilience over features, and includes a detailed, wizard-driven setup process.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs
