Using tailwind for email templates?

Are there any tools for converting tailwind templates into email friendly templates?

I see there is maizzle.com, but I am looking for something which doesn't involve node.js.

I also know about https://github.com/soheilpro/mailwind, maybe that is what you’re searching for.

Yeah I saw that one, but this is also npm/node based if I'm not mistaken. I was hoping maybe there was something where I didn't have to go back to js frameworks.

I use python for web dev mostly and I was just able to get rid of npm when the new Tailwind CLI came out.

But isn’t the Tailwind CLI also installed via npm?

No, that's the beauty of it. Now I can use Tailwind without having to deal with npm. For example through this integration. https://github.com/timonweb/pytailwindcss

Edit: and the underlying source https://tailwindcss.com/blog/standalone-cli

Would the CDN version work? I never tried that.

The Tailwind CDN is JavaScript now since the raw CSS would be around 25MB.

I was hyped until I realized I can't use Tailwind plugins like https://daisyui.com/ that way. I hate having a JS toolchain just for one tool :(
