Inspiration

We wanted to make reading your email easier, because opening and closing all those windows is a real pain in the butt.

What it does

It makes reading emails more efficient and enjoyable by allowing you to swipe through them Tinder-style.

How we built it

To scrape the emails, we used an emlparser to download our emails and then convert them to message objects to separate the subject, body, and sender. We then converted that to a json file to be sent to the front end. We built the web app itself with html, CSS, and javascript for the functionality.

Challenges we ran into

Our main front-end coder left halfway through, and we were very inexperienced in the tools we were using. We ended up not being able to connect the front and back end. But they both work!
