ubject: Email Everything!
mean, technically speaking, I mean Internet Message Everything, but
t definitely doesn't have the same ring to it. So I'll just say email
hen I mean an Internet Message.
've been thinking about this for Quite A While, but basically
verything - every type of communication that you want or could do
ould... well, it could have been an email.
hink about it. Maybe you use Mastodon/ActivityPub, or perhaps some
nferior and commercial form of social media. Maybe you use Forgejo, or
ome other inferior Git hosting like GitHub.
aybe you're unfortunate enough to use Jira for tracking tasks.
otentially, even IRC could have been an email. Definitely the inferior
lack, Discord, and friends could have been an email.
ecause email supports metadata (see [RFC 2822 2.2][1]). Email supports
ttachments in the form of multipart messages. You can attach programs,
lternate representations (hey here's a fancy HTML form of my email with
ich text and formatting and embedded images for sighted users, while
ere's a helpful screen reader friendly format).
onestly the only thing that email may not particuarly be good for is
ast data retrieval. But all you really have to do then is build a DB
hat periodically refreshes from your emails (say when a file is created
r edited). It can also just simply harvest the metadata from the email
eaders.
o really?
his could have been an email
