Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
spat is a Redis-like in-memory data structure server embedded in Postgres. Data is stored in Postgres shared memory. The data model is key-value. Keys are strings, but values can be strings, lists, sets, or hashes.
It's still alpha, but it works.

1. User on allow list forwards suspicious email to service directly from their inbox. 2. The email is parsed, opened, and sanitized in a sandbox environment. Attachments are scanned into raw pixel data and then converted to PDF. 3. Reply email with sanitized content is sent back to original sender. 4. Server is rebuilt, forgetting all previous jobs to protect privacy.
Hope to launch it soon!
