Sending Gists in Gmail

I think I fall somewhere on the spectrum between detaro and avree. There are times where embedding content into emails is incredibly simple (I do it all the time with screenshots rather than sending links that require auth.) However I also find that a link to a gist can be easily forwarded. An API like IFTTT or Zapier tried to solve this problem but clearly does not cover all the bases.<p>I really like the solution Mixmax has here because it is the best of both worlds. A link to a gist quickly turns into embedded content not requiring auth or navigating to a new page, increasing my already bloated tab count. Nice job!

Looks cool but it&#x27;d be so much nicer if it wasn&#x27;t only a Chrome plugin.<p>It really sucks that Chrome is becoming the monoculture of the web. People make plugins for it only and target it first for development. The web isn&#x27;t just Chrome!

In what world would I want to add an extension to GMail and deal with mail client rendering of code rather than just sending someone a link to a Gist?<p>Is sending code snippets over e-mail very common?

A standardized API that can be embedded into many mail clients would be great for this sort of thing.
