  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • Ink

    🌈 React for interactive command-line apps

  • You get the comfort of using react components instead of fighting with HTML tables to make your emails look nice. I think it's awesome! It's analog to what ink[0] does with CLI outputs. Sure, you could write fancy CLI outputs in bash, but ink takes the pain out of it and makes it easy.

  • resend-php

    :envelope: Resend's PHP SDK

  • We do have PHP [0] and Laravel SDKs [1]. It's mentioned on the homepage as well.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • resend-laravel

    :envelope: Resend for Laravel

  • mjmgr

    MJML-React Email Manager

  • I dunno if this is interesting to anyone but a while back I built a mjml email manager.

    https://github.com/siguelaola/mjmgr

    It would let you write emails in mjml and react, and upload, manage and version them on Sendgrid. I had planned to make it a flexible system with support for other providers etc.

    If someone wants to maintain or build on it, let me know.

  • resend-java

    Resend's Java SDK

  • MJML

    MJML: the only framework that makes responsive-email easy

  • But why use React to do that when you can achieve the same thing on the backend?

  • cli

    🖥️ Depot CLI, build your Docker images in the cloud (by depot)

  • We use Resend for our transactional email at https://depot.dev after migrating away from Postmark following their acquisition. It's been awesome so far and because our app is Remix underneath the hood, it was delightfully easy to get our emails exactly how we wanted them.

    The visibility into what emails have been sent, to who, and what the content was is also incredibly helpful when we are talking about transactional emails. Double bonus for being able to share that email as well.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Please don't bring in personal material from elsewhere as ammunition in an argument. It's not that it's so wrong or irrelevant - it's just that it's not worth the cost/benefit to do so. It only makes the threads meaner and more personal. Better to resist the temptation.

  • react-email

    💌 Build and send emails using React

  • FWIW the Tailwind implementation in react-email is not well done. The code double render React to static markup just to parse it into DOM then parse out the style and className attributes using a lot of regex https://github.com/resendlabs/react-email/blob/main/packages....

    It's likely to be brittle and also very slow - slow enough to almost cause an incident when we tried to use it in production because emails were taking _seconds_ to render.

  • elegant-cli

    :purple_heart: Build SEO-friendly websites, super fast full-stack web applications, and much more with Elegant. Built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Outstatic, and more.

  • I have been looking for a basic Mailgun type transactional email service for my React based project, and I believe this is exactly what I need.

    I asked Adam to think about designing some reusable transactional email templates for Tailwind UI a few months ago. It looks like Resend would pair right up with Tailwind perfectly :)

    I added Resend to my R&D to do list, and I hope to partner up soon: https://github.com/elegantframework/elegant-cli

    Congratulations on the launch, and keep up the great work!

    I saw that Guillermo also to note of your work, so props on that too!

  • mjml-react

    React component library to generate the HTML emails on the fly

  • Unfortunately, the react-mjml library is no longer maintained: https://github.com/wix-incubator/mjml-react#notice-this-proj...
