Sample templates available in the playground:

- [One-time passcode (OTP)](https://usewaypoint.github.io/email-builder-js/#sample/one-time-password)
- [Reset password](https://usewaypoint.github.io/email-builder-js/#sample/reset-password)
- [E-commerce receipt](https://usewaypoint.github.io/email-builder-js/#sample/order-ecomerce)
- [SaaS subscription receipt](https://usewaypoint.github.io/email-builder-js/#sample/subscription-receipt)
- [Reservation reminder](https://usewaypoint.github.io/email-builder-js/#sample/reservation-reminder)
- [Post metrics](https://usewaypoint.github.io/email-builder-js/#sample/post-metrics-report)
- [Respond to inquiry](https://usewaypoint.github.io/email-builder-js/#sample/respond-to-message)

## Why?

It's time to finally stop using 90's style HTML and CSS to build product emails. EmailBuilder.js takes inspiration from [editor.js](https://github.com/codex-team/editor.js) and email component libraries and puts them into an easy to use no-code builder to that allow the entire team to contibute to building emails.

Since the builder is completely free and open source, teams can self-host the builder and extend as needed.
