Markdown is the secret winner of the AI early years.

This appears to be a MJML wrapper with a Markdown→HTML converter attached to it. I think generating HTML from code is easier than generating Markdown, since there are many templating tools that understand HTML escaping. And writing HTML is not that hard, especially for your typical emails, so I'm not really sure if this library would be helpful in the long run.

I hope .md domains do not become a security hole as Markdown raises in popularity...

I like how you aren't hiding the fact this is MJML under the hood and don't layer complex abstractions over MJML spec like similar projects (cough react email cough).

The devs maintaining MJML deserve so much credit for dealing with Gmail/Outlook's monopoly bullshit and 2007 html.

Nice idea for those who manage content in markdown. I've moved away from putting emails in my codebase, but seems great for founders moving fast.

I wish people just sent plain text.

templates are cool but seems too heavy to land in primary inbox

Any "HTML emails" get filtered straight into the spam folder here. I think I'm not part of the target audience here.

"Write markdown. Ship emails." - I see a particular group of people interested in this, but they have their tools already.
