A simple TUI application that aims to replicate the Gmail Web-UI in a TUI-Environment - Is this even possible? I don't know yet but let's find out! Special thanks to Rivo for their [TUI Library](https://github.com/rivo/tview/tree/master).

DevLogs for this project can be found below:     
- [[DevLog #01] Gmail-TUI: Replicating The Gmail-Web Experience In Terminal](https://dev.to/dev_vaayen/devlog-01-gmail-tui-replicating-the-gmail-web-experience-in-terminal-1lk1)
- [[DevLog #02] Gmail-TUI: Replicating Gmail-Web's Navigation](https://dev.to/dev_vaayen/devlog-02-gmail-tui-replicating-gmail-webs-navigation-blb)

## Future Plans
As of now, users can only compose mails and send them to Email-IDs from their Gmail-ID using the [Go SMTP-Library](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/sending-email-using-smtp-in-golang/) and they can navigate within the application. I plan on implementing the following to this TUI-Application:         
- [x] A login page for entering email-ID and password         
- [x] Composing and sending mails          
- [ ] Listing received emails with email-IDs in the Inbox         
- [ ] Opening the content of the received mail after clicking it        
- [ ] Viewing sent email in Sent-Box         
- [x] Area to choose from the Compose, Inbox, Drafts, Sent buttons

## Installation Instructions
1. Create an application password for your Gmail account - Refer to this [Google Support link](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en) for guidance
2. Clone this repository and run the `./Gmail-TUI` command inside the cloned directory
3. Enter the required details in the placeholders - **Use only the application password created in Step 1**
4. Use `Tab` and `Shift+Tab` to navigate between buttons, and press `Enter` on the **SEND!** button - Can also use the mouse for navigation
5. After the success dialog box appears, check your inbox for confirmation
