Looks great!

Also, I'd like to share my favorite email-related development tool, MailCatcher [0]

Running these kinds tools as part of a docker-compose setup locally makes a huge difference, especially for end-to-end testing.

I used to use MailCatcher - but I've switched to MailHog[0]

Similar to MailCatcher, but it is built with Go so you dont need to compile etc - it just runs. I find it easier to install.

MailHog also looks great --

One thing that I use MailCatcher for is its REST API. I can easily check for new messages from tests (eg: Cucumber).

I don't see anything about that for MailHog on its github page.
