The README includes screenshots of the app and resulting email client preview, providing clear feedback on how the links will work.
Since it's a web app, Mailto requires an internet connection to function, making it impractical for offline development or environments with restricted access.
It only covers basic mailto fields; advanced options like CC, BCC, or encoding complex characters are not supported, which might necessitate manual tweaking.
There is no API or command-line interface, so all link generation must be done manually through the web UI, hindering efficiency for large-scale projects.
