Show HN: Open-source low-code email editor (opens in new tab)

Hi z3ugma! Yah we'll add a README. To clarify the emailo package is not (currently) intended for consumption outside of Dittofeed, but it'd be great to document nonetheless!

Code is great for creating HTML-based email templates with things like template variables for personalization and responsive design! Of course, templates are mainly useful if you're sending large quantities of emails and don't have the time to individually craft each one.

Hi Onavo, we'll have a free cloud tier for lower volume in the near future. If you'd like to self-host for free but need help with setup, we'd love to see you in our #help-and-questions Discord channel!

Thanks for the kind words as well. With regards to the state of our product category, it's definitely a crowded space. One of our main goals is to help companies save money as they scale their messaging, so it's great to hear your input on pricing.

No congratulations is necessary the Laudspeaker project (https://github.com/laudspeaker/laudspeaker) is doing perfectly fine.

$75/mo is not particularly expensive, Braze's starter plan is close to $35k/year

Humbly suggest you’re wrong.

EDIT: Rather than drive-by disagreement, my case is that MJML is highly flexible and has broad enough use at this point that it’s seeing pickup in mainstream clients. (I like what Keila[1] is doing.) From a creative standpoint, it is easy to hop in an editor and build a template, and it solves the problem of email breakage while not being a significant departure from actual HTML layout.

I don’t think JSX makes sense for the email format unless literally all your tooling is built around it. And the fact is, so much tooling in both email and content management is still built around stuff like PHP.

Well, that's a confusing name - we're using JSX (as in, regular JSX) to write MJML templates in.

Main pain point at the moment is dark mode, but it doesn't seem like JSX email has much to offer there either, unfortunately.

Why do you think it is and what makes JSX Email better in your opinion?

Using jsx for email is an interesting approach. If these work in ancient versions of Outlook and on proprietary, obscure mobile email programs, the way MJML does, I could be swayed.

Hey KRAKRISMOTT, we have SDKs and a REST API which can be found at https://docs.dittofeed.com/integrations/sources

Open to expanding our SDK selection though.

Thanks so much! Hope to be included in future projects :)

I'll take a look!
