About the Cypht Community
Learn about what makes Cypht unique and the values that drive our community forward.
What is Cypht?

Cypht is an open-source email client and news aggregator with a modular design. Unlike traditional applications, Cypht is built entirely from plugins, or "module sets," with the core modules being essential. Users can customize their experience by adding or replacing modules to suit specific site requirements.

Modular Architecture

This modular approach offers flexibility and easy customization, although it may introduce complexity. Every feature is implemented as a module that can be enabled or disabled independently.

Our Values

As a community, we prioritize collaboration, inclusivity, and transparency. We encourage respect for others and open communication. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for all developers, regardless of experience levels.

Collaboration

We work together to solve problems and improve Cypht for everyone.

Inclusivity

We welcome contributors of all backgrounds and experience levels.

Transparency

Our development process is open and accessible to everyone.

Respect

We treat all community members with dignity and respect.
