Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

EmailMD

Generate emails from Markdown.

What we like

Uses Markdown templates to generate email output that works across mail clients. Customizable themes and fonts. Includes common components e.g. buttons, tables, images, callouts, hero. Wraps mjml which handles the compatible conversions.

What we don't like

Built with TypeScript which makes it difficult to use from other languages.

Pyodide

Run Python in the browser.

What we like

Ports CPython to Wasm so it can run in the browser. Any pip package that has a wheel is supported. Includes a JS FFI so you can work directly with the browser (Pyodide already gets access to web APIs).

What we don't like

Wasm/browser environment is single threaded so multi-threading or multi-processing isn’t supported. Also has relatively low memory limits due to Wasm limitations.
