For me discovering https://mjml.io/ was the best thing as it takes away the pain of having to think about all the nitpicks of the different email clients and abstracts it into it's own little markup language.

It supports responsive email designs and has many examples which you can alter to your needs.

You can see the power here: https://mjml.io/try-it-live the basic 15 line example expands to 188 lines of html so that it looks the same everywhere.

Have you tried https://zurb.com/ink/index.php ? Seems similar, and a bit older

They are very, very different things.

Zurb Email is like Bootstrap/Zurb Foundation, for email. They are common styles that apply to your HTML.

MJML, in other hand, is not HTML. You write MJML, instead of HTML, and it compiles to HTML.

It's really fantastic.

With ink (well, inky) I write an email using things like "row", "columns", "spacer" etc. and then a process converts those to HTML+CSS, then another inlines the CSS.

It doesn't seem much different to me.
