Show HN: Shelf – Gmail sections and notes, no access to your account

1 points by gpon505 ↗ HN
I live in Gmail - tight inbox, labels for everything - and kept hitting a wall where labels just turned into smaller piles. I wanted section headers inside a label so I could organize my email however I wanted, and the ability to add context/next steps to emails. All the other tools wanted full-mailbox access to do that, so I built this for myself and some friends told me to publish it :)

Shelf is build as a page-overlay with just one permission (storage) - no API, no OAuth, no server, no analytics.

- Sections create groupings however you want, notes live in local. storage, and it draws in Gmails own visual language so you should hardly notice it's there; making it feel native felt important.

Honest limitation: chrome desktop only, no mobile

Not trying to make money, just hope this is useful to some other people -- let me know if it is!
