Deep dives

Origin and Focus on Gmail API

Initially, my stream decided to focus on Gmail through its API abilities to offer unique features that traditional IMAP-based clients couldn't provide. The Gmail API enabled my stream to access Gmail's full feature set, providing enhanced functionality specifically tailored to Gmail users, creating a niche market on macOS where the official Gmail app wasn't available.
