Very nice. I think the kind of folks attracted to this thread might have some thoughts on a workflow I'm interested in. When I see a news article, I want to be able to click a button on my Mac or iPhone to send the text of the article in the body of the email. Bonus points for rehosting the images from the article. And using a similar font both without carrying over any of the original external dependencies. Normally…

Use the browser reader mode, select all, right click send email. Is it something like that you want?

Love 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. [1] https://x.com/sspaeti/status/2036539855182627169

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

I gave Claude a spin, given all my likings ;) https://github.com/ssp-data/neomd

Markdown is the secret winner of the AI early years.

cries in org-mode

org-mode is amazing for humans. I, as a real human and not a robot, use it every day.

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

Would love to use this - any plans for Cloudflare Workers support? Some of the node APIs you're using block it from working on Cloudflare right now.

Good idea. I'll look into this.

At this point markdown is going to be the foundation of the entire AI web. Someone the other day showed off Markdown as a responsive frontend protocol. Now we've got email. How long until we're writing classes in markdown? We can only abstract this so far before we confuse AI more than help it.

Look up Configuration Complexity clock

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

Is that a thing? Is it safer to use plain text emails?

Does anyone use MJML in golang? What package are you using?

I'm not exactly following as to who this is for - people are going to use email templates instead of writing Markdown emails, and agents can just as easily spit out HTML. Seems like your solution is in search of a problem.
