Show HN: Mailwind – Use Tailwind CSS to design HTML emails
- marcus_cemes 5y agoHow is this different to https://maizzle.com/ https://maizzle.com/?
- soheilpro 5y agoMaizzle is a full framework. Mailwind is a just a simple way to use Tailwind CSS in HTML emails (and optionally inlining them).
- creativedg 5y agoCould you elaborate? I'm currently looking for a solution to build email with Tailwind CSS. So, with Maizzle you can do more things?
- fckthisguy 5y agoI love this! Tailwind has been a genuine revelation for me; moving away from CSS and provind styles that "just work" is fantastic. CSS in email was the last area I had to use regular-old CSS.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoI’ve tried to move to tailwind, and I don’t hate it, but I’ve concluded that inline styles are effectively the same and we should just skip tailwind in favour of inline. I’m sure there’s something wrong with this thinking, but I’m not sure what?
- apineda 5y agoI think of tailwind as a DSL on top of css. It's got convenient shorthand and sane defaults where as css does not. Where it fails is the coupling between tailwind and whatever it is you are designing.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoCan you elaborate on that last statement?
- mekster 5y agoHow can you not tell inline cannot use media queries? It's hard to think how people think classes are same as inlines when responsive designs are the norm. Not to mention pure css are way longer to type.
- soheilpro 5y agoThank you! Same here. I just found it very cumbersome to write CSS for my emails, so I had the idea to create this.

- seanwilson 5y agoCan you rely on desktop and mobile email clients to render modern CSS consistently now or it's still something to watch out for?
- aaaaaaaaata 5y agoWouldn't be surprised if every email client use a Chromium, WebKit, or variant webview.
- Gigachad 5y agoNo. Even in web mail clients you still can’t use so many things that you would expect to. And last I checked, outlook still supports just about nothing
- bluewalt 5y agoThis is useful. As tailwind team is very active, I won't be surprised if they decide to embed an official tool like this one.
- barbarbar 5y agoI have nothing useful to say. But name is extremely smart/clever. Very nice.
- bluewalt 5y agoIt could even be a good name for a smtp provider as well :)
