🚀 Idea Validation: Automatic Email Unsubscriber

One of the biggest pains I personally face is an inbox full of newsletters I don’t remember subscribing to.
So, I’ve been hacking on a Python script that:

  1. Connects to Gmail via IMAP

  2. Finds emails with “unsubscribe” links

  3. Surfaces them in one place (thinking of making a cleaner dashboard for this later)

Right now, it just prints out the unsubscribe links from my inbox — but I’m considering turning it into a simple tool that:

  1. Shows you all your subscriptions

  2. Lets you click one button to unsubscribe

  3. Works locally so you don’t have to share your login with anyone

🤔 Question for the community:

Would you use something like this?

Do you think this should stay a dev-tool/script, or be turned into a webapp?

Any feedback would be super valuable 🙌
