I think the most brilliant part of Bubble is in the Gemtext interface (UI): it's well engineered and the ability to compose drafts that can be edited later is a big step towards fully operational Gemini services. I can't imagine why an online banking couldn't be run with the same approach.
That said... Is there any purely technical barrier to the creation of a Bubble-based (or Bubble-inspired) Gemini email interface, that is a webmail subsistute?
I know that many Geminauts prefer native email clients, but from the point of view of someone who is trying to spend more time in Geminispace, dealing with email would be a very practical thing.

This topic came up before:
Technically it would be doable, but dealing with email is not much fun... Maybe if there was some sensible backend/library in between to deal with the complexity of managing the actual mailboxes, it might be feasible?

I wonder if it would work to adapt a simple webmail client to Gemini that just shows text/plain mails

Are there any open source web mail clients? It might be feasible to extend an existing html-based client to have also a gemini interface.

A popular one is Roundcube in PHP, but that is quite complicated with HTML. Another one is called Squirrelmail
