Show HN: A Grunt workflow for designing and testing HTML emails

[funkiee]

I really like the simplicity of the 'How it works' section and I will probably steal the concept for explaining parts of our build to new employees.

Are you open to pull requests? I forked this and added a couple of things that I'd be happy to contribute back to:

  -- Less support
  -- added a Gemfile to bundle install the ruby requirements
  -- added an npm preinstall task to run bundle install

I tested and it's working locally

This is pretty cool; we've put a lot of work into sendwithus to solve many of these same problems (inline css at send time, staging versions of templates, and multiple types of api keys).

Kudos for having a README that actually makes sense.

+1 for the simplicity of the workflow. I got it running within a few minutes.

Hm, wanted to try this out but the Ruby dependency is discouraging -.-

[fonziguy]

Using the premailer gem for inlining CSS. Agreed would be nice not to have that dependency. Played with other solutions but couldn't find one as good.

Isn't Ruby a dependency for Sass in general? Don't think that's a function of this grunt task.
