Show HN: FreeSupp – minimal email-based support system (chat widget and Inbox)

Hello everyone, I d like to introduce to you FreeSupp -- a free email-based support system for your website or personal project.This started from my personal frustration (as most projects do): for every tiny web product I release I want to have a way for users to reach out and tell me why they like it and why it sucks. Yet somehow even a simple support chat system is either pretty costly (if it s a SaaS) or brings a bunch of heavy dependencies (like Postgres) if it s something to self-host.I wanted a very simple and lightweight system to put into docker compose next to my product.That s how I ended up creating FreeSupp -- a mega simple support system providing a contact bubble widget to embed on the website, a very basic inbox for operators (me) to use to reply to incoming messages and email for notifications.Nothing more.Techwise it s also very minimalistic: single Go binary (docker container with frontend packed is just 36 MB) and SQLite for the database.Definitely not a replacement for sophisticated support systems like Intercom, just a lightweight way to have a communication channel with your users without it taking a gig of server memory or asking for subscription cash.Free to use for both personal and commercial projects. Feedback is welcome (here or in GitHub Discussions).Github: https://github.com/kooler/freesupp
