Interesting but a baroque implementation dependency (off the main path, good code: Erlang is minimalist heaven) and strongly dogmatic/declarative instructions.

Mail is complicated. The fine article glosses over the huge pain and risks in self hosting (basically, one foot wrong and you're blacklisted by a major player)

"Do it exactly this way" won't play for a lot of people



To be fair I am not suggesting people to self-host email because I know it is hard. I am suggesting LIV to people already self-host their email and want an easy web mail.

Of cause LIV is not for every one; I gave plenty of warnings in the README. I only wish to see more people to write or customize software to do email exactly their way so that we can all learn from it.
