Hi looks nice. I am in the process of building a email management system for a client with a small coaching base, and decided to go with Maily to integrate with the React and resend stack.
I hadn't heard of beefree or unlayer before this post. What would you say are the reasons we would want to use Templatical over our current integration or Beefree/unlayer?
Thanks.

Thanks. Honestly, I hadn't heard of Maily until your comment :) Just spent a few minutes with it. Looks like a clean React-first editor.
I can't directly compare it with Maily, but what I see from first glance is that it is a minimalist email template editor that gets the job done. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Beefree and Unlayer are paid services that offer powerful features like custom blocks, merge tags, display conditions, theming. The catch is most of those features sit behind enterprise tiers, and you're tied to their cloud render API to get HTML out.
Templatical aims for that same feature set, open-sourced and self-hostable. No vendor render API — output is MJML, which is battle-tested across the major email clients.
Check out the playground — it has
templates showcasing different features. See if it suits your use case.
