The story behind MJML

Originally created by a team of developers at Mailjet, MJML's objective is to simplify the way people design responsive emails.

Before being an open-sourced markup language, MJML has been used for one year as an internal engine to efficiently generate the HTML of responsive emails designed by users through Passport, Mailjet's drag-and-drop interface to build email campaigns.

After 5 years in the email business, we're in a good place to know how painful it is to design responsive emails. Because keeping up-to-date with all the email-clients' specificities added to the challenge of being responsive on all the devices users read their emails on, we figured MJML could actually help a lot of people struggling with responsive email design.

We hope the community will benefit from what we learnt and decided to share with MJML. Get started with contributing today!
