Subject: [ANNOUNCE] koshi: a GTK4 client for reading and replying to lore.kernel.org lists
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 01:03:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722230315.57499-1-nika@nikableh.moe> (raw)
Hi all,
I'd like to announce koshi, a native GTK4 + libadwaita application for
browsing, searching, and replying to the mailing lists archived on
lore.kernel.org.
https://github.com/nikableh/koshi
lore has excellent archives and git send-email is great for sending, but
I couldn't find a graphical client built around the lore/public-inbox
model that brings the two together. Koshi reads lore directly and,
instead of fighting your email client over formatting, simply invokes
git send-email.
Features
========
- Follow a thread and receive notifications without subscribing to the
whole list.
- Replying and sending goes through git send-email. Your git config and
credential helpers work unchanged. Koshi has no SMTP path of its own
and never rewrites message bodies.
- Composition is plain text only. There is no HTML mode.
- Color highlighting for diffs and quotes.
- Rust, GPL-3.0-only. Distributed as a GPG-signed Flatpak; you can
verify build provenance with gh attestation. Plain cargo and nix
builds are also available.
Current status
==============
v0.3.0. All of the fundamental features are working, with many quality
of life things already planned:
https://github.com/users/nikableh/projects/11
Installation
============
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists koshi https://dl.nikableh.moe/koshi.flatpakrepo
flatpak install koshi moe.nikableh.Koshi
I'm sending this message from koshi itself. If anything about the
headers or formatting looks off, that's a bug; please tell me.
Feedback and questions are welcome.
