tools for email marketing
Well, I recorder the first few hours of my course in December, but don't have time to market it properly. Sharing it for free to spread the knowledge that email marketing isn't dead and thriving
As part of my idea to share information about small modules that we creating I released another simple tutorial that explains how things work here. This module can help everyone that connecting nodemail and trying to send a real template and test how it looks without even spending few hours

It's another simple article that I want to publish and share a story about how we are building a tool for email marketing. Nothing groundbreaking inside, but it's still an interesting retrospection of how things evolved in the last year.

when I tried to use table components with few different templates, I realize that Table deserves its own component. I decided to create few more components. they just a simple version, but it helps me a lot. Plus, by simplifying things - code can live longer.
Interested to see how this module will grow up and mature.

while it's a very tiny piece of code that I'm working on - it's a great way to gain some publicity. already published slogging article about it.
Even if we have more advanced and better-working tools like marked, this thing is simple and can be used by anyone.

I still think about merging components related to links, but for the next 6 months, I think it's not necessary. current repository was the first part of the code that I decided to make as an independent entity. the current list can be viewed here: https://github.com/LLazyEmail/react-email-miscellaneous-components/tree/main/src
while it seems like not a huge deal - it is. I literally stuck with folder names and ideas about how I'll actually organize things.
What was helpful? Instead of finishing the first template and move forward - I start to convert another template. And then a few more :) and by working on splitting emails into parts, I realized the quickies and understandable way to do it. For sure, it's not a final version, but I'm really pumped up about it.
So the current structure looks like this:
- Interior
-- Elements
-- Layouts
-- Sections - Sections (yes, I know, but current sections will be actually a foundation for the Template)
-- Header
-- Content
-- Footer - Typography
-- Heading - Template
I was looking for email templates that I can use. I want to see if React components can work properly with different email templates. Right now it's just a mess, but this work can be a great way to market it. I wanna publish a set of articles, where I'm showing how to split your email template into chunks. can get some views. I started with emails from big companies. Like email from Uber will drive some attention, right? Then I get angry and download a few more templates. At some point, I realize that it's better to have a separate repository, related to HTML templates only. And for sure it's open source. I'm not Jeff Bezos.

I was recording a video for my friend. And I realize that some code can be improved. Previous logic was fine. But I want to spend more time on refactoring. It will help me to get one-file-to-rule-them-all and other things will be just called there. Plus, I'm playing with 2 versions right now. I want a generator to work with plain HTML and react versions at the same time. It will be also cool to make it work as a CLI tool in the future.
I was working on it for a few months. And I finally realized that we reduced the number of bugs. Now I can focus on React version.
Another important point - it can be installed by other projects. I split functionality into parts and using Rollup as a tool for publishing on npm
