MailCatcher VS glow

hey HN, I recently published an article going deep into email previewing (in Ruby on Rails, but I think it's relevant beyond Rails).

MailCatcher (https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher) and MailHog (https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) are super handy and easy to run locally. Both spin up an SMTP server which you can direct mail to, and give you a nice web interface to browse mail and preview it.

Happy to answer any question! thanks, harrison

A couple others

* Mail Catcher https://mailcatcher.me/

Useful. Seems very similar to MailCatcher, but not depending on Ruby is always a plus.

I just upgraded to Alpine Linux 3.16.1 This is an important upgrade as it fixes 2 major issues: - busybox CVE-2022-30065 - openssl CVE-2022-2097 Related information: Mailcatcher as a docker image using Alpine Linux 3.16.1: https://hub.docker.com/r/stpaquet/alpinemailcatcher Github repo: https://github.com/spaquet/docker-alpine-mailcatcher Mailcatcher: https://mailcatcher.me

Mailcatcher: https://mailcatcher.me

Mailhog sounds a lot like mailcatcher

I would install https://mailcatcher.me and see if that local smtp works.

I can run MailCatcher or MailHog or Postfix or Sendmail or any number of other solutions, but there's not any other linux sysadmins here so something with an easy gui setup would be convenient so others can poke around if needed.

To get started, install Mods and check out some of the examples below. Since Mods has built-in Markdown formatting, you may also want to grab Glow to give the output some pizzazz.

I recently started using markdown in neovim (with an LSP) along with https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow to view markdown / navigate. Does everything I used to use Obsidian for minus the links / graph functionality which I don't really need and it's pretty snappy on an old Lenovo. Very customizable as well.

Yup, those seem to be the key challenges. I've been making good progress on them, but there's plenty more work to do!

On the topic of "AI-generated PRs", I used my tool to file a PR to the `glow` CLI tool. I don't know the go language, so I had aider make the changes to glow.

I've also been able solve a couple of github issues that were file by users by just pasting the issue into my tool... it fixed itself. Links below:

I'm personally also quite fond of Glow. I use it pretty much every time I touch a markdown file.

Nice idea! I’m excited to check it out. I write a lot of docs in Markdown and this could be a great way to browse them.

Out of curiosity, have you seen glow[0]?

Charm's Glow is a joy to use, a good example of having the Charm's Bubbletea usage - but from the code perspective, it's a bit difficult to navigate as many code paths are put in the same package

thanks! Yeah all the markdown is handled through glow, which is one fairly awesome tool.
