rookery

by @obobob

I'm working on rookery, "A PGP-first, self-hostable email server that comes with a web mail client and modern standards out-of-the-box.": https://github.com/oleblaesing/rookery If you are a privacy minded person like me, you got only a few options when it comes to email with some ease of use: ProtonMail, Tuta etc. Rather than becoming a new competitor to those, I want to give the power of the decentralized email standard back into the users hand. Everyone with a bit of self-hosting/Linux knowledge, can setup their instances for themselves and their friends/family/business. Bootstrapped that heavy via vibe coding. Used it to learn a lot about the email standard and related technology. However, I find it too valuable to just be a learning project. Now I'm cleaning it up to get in control again and to proof its secureness by rewriting/restructuring/refactoring line by line.
