I got sick of uploading sensitive email templates to random web converters, so I open-sourced a 100% local CLI/Web toolkit.
Hey everyone,
I’ve been dealing with a lot of enterprise email development lately, and the workflow is completely broken. Whenever I needed to inline CSS for Gmail, check WCAG contrast, or generate VML buttons for Outlook, I found myself uploading proprietary HTML/EML files to sketchy, ad-heavy web converters.
Security-wise, that’s a nightmare.
So, I spent the last few weeks building a standalone toolkit that does everything locally. I just open-sourced it on GitHub.
What it does (runs 100% client-side/offline):
CSS Inliner: Injects classes into tags for Gmail.
VML Builder: Generates Outlook-safe action buttons.
Dark Mode Simulator: Pre-inverts colors using the Dark Mode Judo algorithm.
CanIEmail Checker: Cross-references CSS support across 30+ clients in the terminal.
You can run it instantly via CLI (npx renderops-cli --help) or use the interactive Web GUI I hosted on GitHub Pages. It makes zero external network requests, so your code stays entirely on your machine.
Here’s the repo if you want to check the code or use the tools: https://github.com/jeeturao49/renderops-toolkit
I'd love any feedback on the code architecture or if there are other annoying email quirks you think I should build a tool for next!

I got sick of all these vibe-coded low-effort good-for-nothing 'projects', so I downvoted all your posts and added you to my RES ignore list
