Goeland is a self-hosted RSS/Atom feed to email digest tool written in Go. It fetches feeds from RSS/Atom/JSON sources, Imgur tags, and Miniflux instances, applies a composable chain of filters (e.g., unseen, today, digest, language, retrieve, replace), and sends beautiful responsive HTML emails via SMTP or writes to HTML files. It runs as a one-shot CLI command or as a persistent daemon with per-pipe cron scheduling. The architecture is modular: commands are defined with Cobra, configuration is read via Viper (TOML files with env overrides), logging uses Logrus with structured output support, and unseen entry tracking uses BoltDB. External dependencies include an SMTP server, Miniflux REST API, Imgur API, and optional CSS themes. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices: clean package boundaries, thorough unit tests (filter_test.go covers all filters including edge cases), security-conscious HTTP fetching with SSRF protection, internationalization support, and automated CI/CD with Docker multi-arch builds. It is production-stable and actively maintained.
Matcha is a full-featured terminal email client (TUI) written in Go, using the Bubble Tea framework. It supports multiple email protocols (IMAP, JMAP, POP3, Maildir) and provides a rich set of features including PGP/SMIME encryption, OAuth2 authentication, a Lua plugin system with 35+ community plugins, background daemon for push notifications and sync, spellcheck, i18n with 11 languages, and a configurable theme system. The architecture is modular: a backend provider interface abstracts protocol implementations, a daemon runs as a background process communicating via JSON-RPC over Unix sockets, and the TUI is built with composable Bubble Tea models. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices with extensive test coverage, CI/CD pipelines, cross-platform packaging (Homebrew, Snap, Flatpak, Nix, WinGet), and a well-designed plugin API. It is not a data research project; it is a production-grade application.
