How about (inspired by another HN post) - a rebuild of a TUI for email, given how its built:

It seems that building a version of this Aerc Email TUi with Instant is a completely doable?

Might be an interesting tutorial to build out an Instant FroBenDB (Instant is an instant Front-BackendDB :-) --- btu the txtual nature of aerc and its configs seem ripe for just bolting it to Instant.
