TLDR; Do you have any suggestions on learning HTML when Elm is one’s primary(only?) browser language? Hi all, I have a weird question. I have been using Elm for about 1.5 years now and have never felt more productive. Until I started, I could write frontend code but struggled to deal with complex…

I’ve been meaning to check out the MJML language to solve the e-mail problem, myself. I think there are some Elixir/Phoenix integrations for it already. For layouts with regular HTML, I absolutely cannot live without Flexbox. Getting really comfortable with flexbox is how I deal with the overwhelmi…

I can’t point you to something specific but I would strongly advise you to go to CSS fundamentals… these days we have flexbox as mentioned above but its really useful to understand the basics of CSS display types, the layout flow (inline/blocks/etc.), positions (static/absolute/fixed/…) and then lea…

Thanks @neurodynamic for the reply and for the resources. I will definitely checkout flexbox thanks for the links. It feels like there is too much stuff on the internet, I would not have found these easily by myself. MJML also looks great! I love the look of those high level tags for sections, col…

Thanks @georgesboris . Flexbox has come up again so I will focus on this for layouts. It looks reasonably close to the rows and columns of elm-ui. Hooray! I have a basic grasp of CSS and HTML but I always get overwhelmed after the first few chapters of most guides I read, I will do a quick review o…

I haven’t tried myself by I think that maybe you could use elm-pages for email. Though the templating and learning materials already suggested might be easier to apply.

[image] neurodynamic: I also really like the advice from every-layout.dev for tackling a lot of more complex layout challenges The stack and cluster from every-layout are silly easy to implement with gap. Unfortunately, gap is not really ready for general use but for admin apps or for vertic…

+1 would highly recommend everylayout. If you’re a student or unemployed they’re happy to offer a free copy if you reach out to them :blush:

This is interesting. I looked at elm-static-pages and wasn’t 100% convinced. This might work as long as I constrain myself to not having static pages. My main concern was interpolation of values on the server. It might be doable, but would be brittle I think.

[image] pdamoc: This is why elm-ui is so freaking awesome. :slight_smile: I completrly agree. Whenever I tell my Elm conversion story, I talk about how I took 3 days to complete in Elm something that took more than a week in React. This is not to diss React, I just love how Elm’s types guide …

That offer seems to be expired according to their website. I’ll see what happens if I reach out directly

Ah what, rubbish :pensive: hope they get back to you I guess
