#12I 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.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
What about images, links? Formatted text like bold or underline? I also prefer plain text, but in most of my emails I talk about technical stuff, or I send transactional emails that require actions, in which case showing buttons is a much better user experience than plain text.
I don’t want buttons in my emails.
But they are a lot easier to see and click (accessibility, larger hit area).
You could have a larger text instead of a button, but changing font size is also HTML and not plain-text anymore.

#15I wish people just sent plain text.

Plain text? Pffft.
Human language is an unnecessary abstraction, just like images.
I wish everyone would communicate in pure Binary.

#17Any "HTML emails" get filtered straight into the spam folder here. I think I'm not part of the target audience here.

Thanks! I agree - the MJML team has laid so much groundwork and it frankly made this project possible.

You can just send a link, and the user's client will probably highlight it even if it is plain text.
