Re: "Lagrange as email frontend for gemini rendered IMAP boxes,..."
So, webmail thats easy but secure to access thanks to the cert based identities. Some of the prettiness of html email but reduced risks as its converted to gemtext before render by the client. I like it. Be great if you could add support for misfin to the backend too.

this is exactly the idea that I had on Station a few weeks ago. I plan on working on it this summer, and having support for both misfin and email.
it’s possible the IMAP part be harder than I am prepared for, but I have several people I can ask for help with that if need be.

Well, if you had a gemini-to-IMAP gateway, you could use any gemini client, right? Including text-based ones if that's your thing.

Yes, the idea to use Lagrange for all text oriented services is so tempting to me, also I still use a little bit ancient tech like Fidonet and interested to make gateway for the local Fidonet echo/netmail database at least for reading messages since actual input UI elements needs more features/upgrades (resize, custom size, maybe some buttons, shortcuts for markdown features).
Lagrange as email frontend for gemini rendered IMAP boxes, what you think about it?
