I hope .md domains do not become a security hole as Markdown raises in popularity...
This reminds me of the infamous dot zip domain and the security chaos that had followed.

Yeah, the first example on that site doesn't need any formatting.
It just says your code is

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.

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.
I don’t have problems seeing and clicking normal text, thank you very much. I don’t want buttons on my emails.
I think the OP app is meant for creating transactional emails (or bulk-send emails like newsletters).
Those templates should account for all types of people and accessibility levels (including things like ADHD, where you need a big red button to click, otherwise you get overwhelmed by a block of text).

#36Curious why the CLI function is `mvd` instead of `mdv`?

#37Love everything to Markdownify :) I was just wondering, is there a Neovim/Markdown email client? Potentially using something like this? I love Neomutt, or Newsboat, and other TUIs. It would be great to have something totally on Markdown. Update: I gave it a spin [1] with Go and some of my favorite CLI's.

That's a valid concern, especially given the confusion we saw with .zip or .mov TLDs. But from a security engineering perspective, the bigger 'Markdown hole' I worry about is injection. When we render untrusted AI output into HTML for email, the sanitization pipeline becomes critical. I'd be curious to see how this library handles potential XSS vectors during the MD-to-HTML conversion.

There's not one that I'm aware of. Maybe it's about time there is :D
