Is it responsive on Gmail & Inbox for mobile?
That's the big question. I've had soo much trouble getting Gmail to respect my stylez...
unfortunately Gmail strips all the style tags in the head, so it's not possible to get the responsive styles in those browsers. If anyone knows someone on the inbox or gmail teams send them my way ;)
You can use Foundation + Mandrill. Mandrill can automatically take your HEAD styles and turn them into inline styles. We use Ink + Mandrill at POP.co with great success.
We use an inliner for all emails, but inliners can't inline media-queries so only clients that keep the style tag can use the responsive styles
Formerly called "Ink" this is arguably the easiest and clearest way to get concise and beautiful HTML emails. I've also got to give mad props for arguably the cutest mascot second only to the PH Kitties 🐙😺💁
Thanks Kate! We'd love to see what you've built with it.
Hey All! Brandon here from ZURB! We're working on a killer new version out very soon, but thanks for the love on Foundation for Email today. What a lovely surprise. Foundation for Email (formerly INK) came from ZURBs own frustrations with transactional emails for our own products. The main goals were making emails function as perfect as possible on Outlook and also get as many responsive clients as we could. We've worked hard to make it feel as easy as using Foundation and in the next version are making a large leap that direction. We talked a lot about it here: Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for making my Sunday night, Product Hunters.
whats coming soon? I am a user since long time and I love the product!
We'll be getting out a new version in the first quarter of 2016, we wrote a bout it here
What great timing! I was looking into getting the HTML email business but I didn't know where to start. What a life saver!
Glad ZURB and our giant squid could help.
Used Ink in the past, loved it. Excited to try this out.
Glad you loved it! It makes email just that much easier.
This is awesome! Love how simple it is to create an HTML email. Definitely will be useful to developers/designers. Have to agree with on the cute mascot!
Thanks Nick! You'll still want to have a good understanding on what things work and what things don't in email clients, but for the most part we're trying to take the worry out of it.
Glad to see it's working with MailChimp :)
Squids and chimps can be besties
Foundation for Emails 2 has just been announced. You can check out what's new here:
Paging 😉
hahaha. Yeah, used to be Ink. Good stuff!
Thanks Jorge! Mathew, we're looking forward to getting your feedback on the new version soon. We obviously love Really Good Emails and have seen plenty of INK emails on there in the past :)
right on. Reach out if you'd like to work together in some capacity. Guest blogging about how people are using it, and/or ways people could use it differently, etc.
Will do, Thanks!
