在每年的年初，似乎都有一股疯狂的寻找提高工作效率方法的冲动。新年决心，渴望以正确的方式开始新的一年。当然，“旧不去的，新的不来”的态度都会导致这种情况。一般的建议都偏向于闭源和专有软件，然而并不是必须这样。


以下是我挑选的 19 个新的（或者对你来说是新的）开源工具中的第 11 个，它将帮助你在 2019 年提高工作效率。


### Isotope


正如我们在[本系列的第四篇文章](https://opensource.com/article/19/1/productivity-tool-cypht-email)（Cypht）中所讨论的那样，我们花了很多时间来处理电子邮件。有很多方法可以解决它，我已经花了很多时间来寻找最适合我的电子邮件客户端。我认为这是一个重要的区别：对我有效的方法并不总是对其它人有效。有时对我有用的是像 [Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net/) 这样的完整客户端，有时是像 [Mutt](http://www.mutt.org/) 这样的控制台客户端，有时是像 [Gmail](https://mail.google.com/) 和 [RoundCube](https://roundcube.net/) 这样基于 Web 的界面。

[Isotope](https://blog.marcnuri.com/isotope-mail-client-introduction/) 是一个本地托管的、基于 Web 的电子邮件客户端。它非常轻巧，只使用 IMAP 协议，占用的磁盘空间非常小。与 Cypht 不同，Isotope 具有完整的 HTML 邮件支持，这意味着显示富文本电子邮件没有问题。

如果你安装了 [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)，那么安装 Isotope 非常容易。你只需将文档中的命令复制到控制台中，然后按下回车键。在浏览器中输入 `localhost` 来访问 Isotope 登录界面，输入你的 IMAP 服务器，登录名和密码将打开收件箱视图。

在这一点上，Isotope 的功能和你想象的差不多。单击消息进行查看，单击铅笔图标以创建新邮件等。你会注意到用户界面（UI）非常简单，没有“移动到文件夹”、“复制到文件夹”和“存档”等常规按钮。你可以通过拖动来移动消息，因此其实你并不太需要这些按钮。

总的来说，Isotope 干净、速度快、工作得非常好。更棒的是，它正在积极开发中（最近一次的提交是在我撰写本文的两小时之前），所以它正在不断得到改进。你可以查看代码并在 [GitHub](https://github.com/manusa/isotope-mail) 上为它做出贡献。

OK
There seems to be a mad rush at the beginning of every year to find ways to be more productive. New Year's resolutions, the itch to start the year off right, and of course, an "out with the old, in with the new" attitude all contribute to this. And the usual round of recommendations is heavily biased towards closed source and proprietary software. It doesn't have to be that way.

Here's the 11th of my picks for 19 new (or new-to-you) open source tools to help you be more productive in 2019.

## Isotope

As we discussed in the [fourth article in this series](https://opensource.com/article/19/1/productivity-tool-cypht-email) (about Cypht), we all spend a whole lot of time dealing with email. There are many options for dealing with it, and I've spent hours upon hours trying to find the best email client that works for me. I think that is an important distinction: What works for me doesn't always work for everyone else. And sometimes what works for me is a full client like [Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net/), sometimes it is a console client like [Mutt](http://www.mutt.org/), and sometimes it's a web-based interface like [Gmail](https://mail.google.com/) or [RoundCube](https://roundcube.net/).

[Isotope](https://blog.marcnuri.com/isotope-mail-client-introduction/) is a locally hosted, web-based email client. It is exceptionally lightweight, uses IMAP exclusively, and takes up very little disk space. Unlike Cypht, Isotope has full HTML mail support, which means there are no issues displaying rich-text only emails.


![Installing and running Isotope Installing and running Isotope](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/uploads/isotope_2_0.png)

Installing Isotope is very easy if you have [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) installed. You only need to copy the commands from the documentation into a console and press Enter. Point a browser at **localhost** to get the Isotope login screen, and entering your IMAP server, login name, and password will open the inbox view.

At this point, Isotope functions pretty much as you'd expect. Click a message to view it, click the pencil icon to create a new message, etc. You will note that the user interface (UI) is very minimalistic and doesn't have the typical buttons for things like "move to folder," "copy to folder," and "archive." You move messages around with drag and drop, so you don't really miss the buttons anyway.

Overall, Isotope is clean, fast, and works exceptionally well. Even better, it is under active development (the most recent commit was two hours before I wrote this article), so it is constantly getting improvements. You can check out the code and contribute to it on [GitHub](https://github.com/manusa/isotope-mail).
