Cerberus VS html5-boilerplate

Let’s start with one of the features that was most requested in my previous posts: Keila now has a WYSIWYG block editor! – Screenshots With the new editor comes a new base template which is based on Cerberus Hybrid and which looks great on pretty much all email clients, even tricky ones like Windows Mail.

I recommend you look into these templates: https://www.cerberusemail.com/

We have been using Cerberus since 2015, rock solid: https://github.com/TedGoas/Cerberus

Try out https://tedgoas.github.io/Cerberus/ It’s the best that I have found. Plus, you can chose between different layouts

Email templates are nothing but hacks, I've found. Here's the template I use for email, though I don't think it supports the layout you're going for. Try googling "email templates github" and see if any open source options have a solution.

Not a framework but I’ve found Ted Goad’ Cerberus templates very useful.

I customized them, extracted them into modules and created a design system which I then translated to an email CMS.

Coverage is pretty good although Outlook still glitches in some circumstances.

FWIW caniemail is unreliable and does not have full coverage.

Also with this level of complexity I’d rather start with a few tested patterns than navigate the insane labyrinth of email client inconsistencies.

Keila currently comes with one template. It’s based on the wonderful Cerberus Fluid Template and looks great on mobile! Future versions will of course let you modify the template to your heart’s content.

Download the HTML5 Boilerplate template from the official website (https://html5boilerplate.com/). You can choose to download the standard or the enhanced version, depending on your needs.

Also https://html5boilerplate.com might be good starting point.

Learn to a medium degree of proficiency HTML and CSS. Dig through something like the source code for https://html5boilerplate.com/ and try to understand why they're doing the things that they're doing. Learn Git and use it in practice. Even if you're just working on your own code.

2. Html Boilerplate

Wasn't this moved into Modernizr? There's a library I haven't thought of in a long time.

Oh, yep. There it is at the bottom:

> April 2011: IEPP v2 comes out. Modernizr and the html5shiv inherit the latest code. Meanwhile developers everywhere continue to use HTML5 elements in a cross-browser fashion without worry.

Paul Irish also started (or helped start) the html5 boilerplate project[1], which I am surprised to see is still actively being developed. I relied on that boilerplate for so many of my years of my early career (started full-time front-end in 2011). If you want another blast of nostalgia, check out the earlier releases[2,3] of it. I'm so happy I don't have to use conditional IE statements in my html anymore
