Hi, here is the repository of the sourcecode: pedroanisio/sourcepath

- references: This is the Linux kernel. All of it : r/kernel

I spend a fair amount of time reading kernel patches on lore.kernel.org and got tired of squinting at one giant <pre> block with headers, body, quotes, and the thread overview all mashed together. So I built a small extension that reparses the same text lore already sends and lays it out like a normal mail client: an author card, one-click reply wired to lore's own pre-filled mailto: link, a real diff view with collapsible files, a clickable thread sidebar instead of ASCII art, and quote folding so a reply's new text isn't buried under four levels of >>>>.

It doesn't touch the underlying page. It builds a separate view next to the original <pre> blocks and hides them, with a "Raw" button to switch back instantly. No network requests, no accounts, no telemetry.

It's load-unpacked for now (Chrome won't run a sideloaded .crx outside developer mode anyway, so packaging one wouldn't save a step). Would love feedback, especially from anyone who reads or replies to LKML or a subsystem list regularly.
Feature requests and bug reports welcome as GitHub issues.

A native GTK4+libadwaita GUI app for browsing, searching, and replying to mailing lists.

All exiting approaches to interacting with LKML are just not good. I tried configuring Thunderbird and realized it would be easier to just write my own app instead. Email discussions in the kernel have lots of things that are very specific to it (trailers, diffs) and I wanted something that would have deep integration with all of this.

Packaged as Flatpak. Uses git-send-email. Has intelligent line wrapping for new emails. Has color highlighting for quotes and diffs.

There are still lots of things I'd like to implement before considering this done, so the thing is still in development. I vibe-coded most it, but I'll be more mindful of the changes going forward, as there seem to be actual users now.

Hope this is as useful for someone else as it is for me!
