wasp VS Cerberus

The easiest way to show your support is just to star Wasp repo! 🐝 But it would be greatly appreciated if you could take a look at the repository (for contributions, or to simply test the product). Click on the button below to give Wasp a star and show your support!

Lucia is one of the open-source tools that we use under the hood at Wasp, a Laravel-like framework for React & Node.js. It has grown to 9.5K stars on GitHub since October 2023. Although Lucia itself will be deprecated as a library in 2025 and converted into a learning resource, Pilcrow is also working on other projects related to auth, such as Copenhagen and Oslo. You can learn more about his work and projects on his blog.

We have seen a lot of Wasp users facing similar challenges, thinking their toolkit was to blame. In our Discord community, we regularly help users who’ve just launched their first app with Wasp, and we've seen this issue pop up frequently. The bad news: your users and their email servers pulled a Gandalf move on you. The good news: no worries, this is something you can fix!

We’re launching a new series of posts where we'll sit down with the folks who help us run our projects without expecting anyting in return. Yes, we're talking about open-source maintainers and builders, the people who dedicate their free time to make tech better. This is our way to say "Thank you!" to all of those who help us build and improve Wasp, as well as shape the webdev ecosystem.

So what I'll do is copy the Wasp docs markdown files into their own directory within the root of the project I'm working on. Then I can reference the docs whenever I have questions or am trying to implement a new feature.

Hey, I’m Sam, a backend engineer with a lot of experience with Django. I wanted to make the jump and learn some frontend for a full stack app. I quickly experienced the arduous nature of a React-with-Django project and thought the pain was just part of the development process. However, I came across a very cool new full stack framework called Wasp.

If you’d like to check this example in more depth, feel free to check this repo here: wasp/examples/todo-typescript at release · wasp-lang/wasp (github.com). Other great place to check is their documentation, which can be found here. It covers most of what I said here, and even more (e.g. the awesome new hooks that came with Wasp v0.14)

OP should have used the patterns from Cerberus: https://github.com/emailmonday/Cerberus

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.
