Mailit, A Tiny REST API to Send Emails
- whatnotests 9y agoLooks great! Also, I'd like to share my favorite email-related development tool, MailCatcher [0] Running these kinds tools as part of a docker-compose setup locally makes a huge difference, especially for end-to-end testing. [0] https://mailcatcher.me/ https://mailcatcher.me/
- laurencei 9y agoI used to use MailCatcher - but I've switched to MailHog[0] Similar to MailCatcher, but it is built with Go so you dont need to compile etc - it just runs. I find it easier to install. [0] https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog
- whatnotests 9y agoMailHog also looks great -- One thing that I use MailCatcher for is its REST API. I can easily check for new messages from tests (eg: Cucumber). I don't see anything about that for MailHog on its github page.

- atomashpolskiy 9y agoProjects/products that get many upvotes here once might deserve to stay in public sight longer than a couple of hours, even if just because they are more likely to be interesting/helpful to people :) e.g. yesterday's submission about a job site for former criminals slipped to the 2nd page just in 24 hours
- disiplus 9y agoit looks like just a simple wraper around nodemailer, without any advanced featuers, like you cannot send attachments, and so on. i my tiny sideproject, sending emails with nodemailer is like 8 lines of code. and for anything more complicated this is not really enough.
