Node.js backend + Next.js frontend, Lightning via LND (hosted on Voltage). Gmail API for inbox integration right now, working on native SMTP. The gate works like this: stranger emails you → email gets held → auto-reply goes out with a Lightning invoice → they pay 100 sats → email releases to your inbox. No ML, no filters, just a price signal. Try it: email niko@tanstaafl.email
