Show HN: Mail Studio – IDE for designing responsive emails
An email user's viewpoint: pretty emails formatted like web pages (e.g., like what GOG.com sends) may provide a sense of accomplishment to the designer, and their employer a warm, fuzzy, Brand-CompliantTM feeling -- but as a user I kind of like emails that are just... messages. With hyperlinks if it's appropriate. Images aren't always a great idea -- lots of clients block them by default.<p>Why not have just text in paragraphs with hyperlinks? It'd force you to write good copy, sure, but also it's more likely it'll get read.<p>A complex layout often detracts from your message. Especially now with web-based clients implementing 'dark mode' and darkening your layouts, meaning you have less control over what the end-user sees.<p>(Apologies if this is off-topic. I don't mean to denigrate the work designers do, I just feel it's more appropriate on the actual web rather than in email.)
