the hard part probably isn't search over 500k emails, it's keeping the generated wiki from becoming a second messy inbox. i'd want to see how it handles stale facts and conflicting versions of the same project. email has a lot of "this was true for two weeks in 2019" buried inside it.

#12I built a vibe coded version for my personal use. This helped me track projects and other things going on in my small business. Memento gives me a different look with a lot more features to it.
Thanks for the feedback. What are the things you liked the most? Any other features you would like to see?

Thanks for the note.
While building the context bundle, there is a tool that detect gaps in the timeline. So when you ask 'kitchen renovation', and there are emails from 2019 and 2023, the tool flags these gaps and the LLM is made aware of it. So Memento asks which of these clusters you want to track as a project.
Later while generating the wiki, LLM handles conflicts and facts that evolved over time because it has the timestamp of the messages. So it shows that in the narrative.
Wwat we haven't implemented yet is to update the wiki when new emails arrive. That is the next one in our backlog.

#14The day this story was posted on Show HN, I didn’t want to be glued to the screen, waiting for new comments. So, I asked Gemini to write a script that listens for new comments on Firebase. I already had Pushover [1], so I connected the script to send notifications to my mobile device. I ran the script and forgot about it. Today, I woke up to multiple notifications. I believe this script could be useful for other HN users as well, so I converted it into a project and posted it to GitHub [2].
This is unrelated to Memento.
