Thanks so much for sharing this! It looks hugely interesting to me. If
nothing else, I'm delighted to have an email client targeting the
notmuch library directly, (rather than running the notmuch binary like
notmuch.el does). This should be a great help to us in ensuring the
library interface does what it should.

Also, lots of people have been interested in a native, curses interface
to notmuch. So I'm delighted to see that become a reality.

I'm there now.

And meanwhile, please feel free to use the notmuch mailing list, the
#notmuch IRC channel, and the notmuchmail.org wiki as much as it makes
sense to you. It's already quite plain that the emacs interface occupies
a lot of the traffic at all of those places, so I would be more than
happy to have traffic from alternate notmuch interfaces there as well.

At the very least, I'd like it to be very easy for people visiting
notmuchmail.org to be able to find ner. So I'd be more than happy to
host releases at http://notmuchmail.org/releases/ , etc.

And if there's anything else I can do to support the project, please let
me know.

And thanks for your contribution.
