> Migaman is a CLI email alias manager for [Migadu](https://www.migadu.com/) users. It allows you to generate and manage per-service email addresses with ease, allowing you to protect your primary email address from spam without sacrificing convenience.

I have been sitting on this for some time now as it lacked polish in some areas, but it has been serving my needs for quite some time. Therefore, I have decided to pull the trigger and release the first version to public.

There is not much interesting going on on the technical side. It is essentially a CLI interface to a JSON API that uses SQLite to manage its internal state. Some details on the tech stack:

- **Persistence:** `beam` (together with `beam-sqlite`)
- **Migrations:** `migrant`
- **HTTP:** `req`
- **CLI:** `optparse-applicative`

Aside from the alias manager itself, the project also introduces the `migadu` library which wraps the JSON API and exposes it as an idiomatic Haskell interface. The library component is not feature-complete since I have only implemented what was necessary for migaman, but I would be happy extend it if someone needs access to some yet-unimplemented feature.
