I’ve developed http://tabular.email (Tabular), a new email design tool that generates hybrid mobile-first email HTML. Think of emails for your app, such as user verification or welcome, newsletters, or marketing emails.

My goal was to make designing emails as quick and intuitive as possible. To make a tool where everything is done visually (adjusting margins, paddings, gaps, dimensions etc.), without the user having to worry about writing email HTML code.

Cool thing is that you get full control over how your email looks on mobile devices. When designing, you can switch to mobile mode, and any styling changes that you make will overwrite how it looks on desktop.

Tabular’s algorithm generates responsive HTML code that renders on all major email inboxes and devices, including older desktop Outlooks (e.g. Outlook 2010, 2013 etc.). At the moment, I’ve implemented 8 integrations so you can connect your email service provider (e.g. Sendgrid, Mailgun) to use it there directly, or download the HTML and upload it manually.

You can create any design structures using the row and column blocks. Nest the blocks however you like without constraints on how you use them to create structures. Combine the blocks to create complex designs or data tables for example.

I’d love to hear your feedback.
