💌 Make Email Verification Templates Prettier (and Customizable)

[filiptrivan]

Currently, Spiderly sends a plain six-digit code to the user’s email for verification - no extra details, just the number.

We’ve received feedback from our users, they want the email to look better and feel more like part of their brand or product experience.

We're thinking of two main directions:

1. Prettify the default template - something clean, modern, and branded.
2. Let users fully design the email template - allowing them to insert their own logo, header, text, and style.

What’s the best way to approach this?

1. Should we use a templating engine and allow users to inject their HTML/CSS?
2. Should we just offer a few settings (logo, color, footer text) and handle the rest?
3. Are there any best practices or common pitfalls you’ve seen when giving users template control?

We’d love your thoughts, especially if you’ve built or used similar functionality before. What would you expect as a user or developer integrating this?
