ArchiGO

A maildir to HTML archive generator, written in Go.

Wait, what?

A maildir to HTML archive generator. This means, from a maildir (where emails are stored, like an inbox) an HTML (in the future Gemini and Atom too, probably) is generated, suitable for publishing as a website.

This is similar to what mailing list software does, but instead of handling subscriptions, email reception and a ton of things, it just parses the emails and spits out static HTML to a folder. This program is meant to be ran with something like mbsync (for downloading email, a cronjob (to update archives) and a web server (to serve the output, obviously).

ArchiGO can handle multiple "lists" within a single address. Take for example test@lists.costas.dev (the address I actually use in development). This could be a single address for a single list, but instead you can add aliases to allow multiple lists, so you could host different lists in a single address, such as:

• test+sometopic@lists.costas.dev
• test+development@lists.costas.dev
• test+offtopic@lists.costas.dev

You don't even have to use your own email server, you could host this address anywhere that allows IMAP access (any decent provider should).

Contributing
