This is a proof of concept, re-creating USWDS styles in MJML.

Why?

Email clients don't render everything the same way as web browsers -- for example, <button> element is not supported in email clients. There are many workarounds to get buttons to work in many email clients, each with pros and cons.

How?

Tools like MJML help make this easier, by providing an abstraction layer over the complex markup we need to ensure cross-email-client compatibility.

I learned how to open a module in a Node REPL thanks to this StackOverflow post

How to use Faker in a Node.js REPL

1. npm install --save-dev "@faker-js/faker
   • = install Faker to your repository
   • (I made an empty project folder because idk how to find -g global ones in node)
2. node --experimental-repl-await
   • = open the Node REPL with the experimental await feature
3. let { faker } = await import('@faker-js/faker')

So many messaging apps!! It's hard to keep track of who I talk to where!

I message Brian on Signal, Sean on Discord, and Steve by sms.

I just want to type their name and BAM immediately be in the correct app.

This takes two steps:

1. Coming up with the "weird links" to open the right app to the right person (I use a spreadsheet)
2. Making those "weird links" easy to open (like with Apple Shortcuts)

a = `10

b = a.split("\n")
c = b.map(a => Number(a))
d = c.sort((a, b) => b-a)
