Project Description

This project aims to develop a user-friendly, browser-based email template editor, inspired by platforms like Stripo.email. The core goal is to provide a seamless, no-signup experience for creating and exporting beautiful email templates directly within the browser, leveraging client-side storage and APIs.

Core Goals:

No-Nonsense Experience: Allow users to start creating templates immediately without any registration or login. Browser-Only Functionality: Ensure the entire application, including editing, saving, and conversion, operates solely within the user's web browser. Beautiful Templates: Enable the creation of visually appealing and responsive email templates.

Key Features:

• Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Editor:
  • Provide a highly interactive interface for assembling email layouts.
  • Allow users to drag and drop various content blocks (e.g., text, images, buttons, social media links, dividers) onto the canvas.
  • Enable easy rearrangement and customization of these blocks.
• Client-Side Data Persistence:
  • Utilize localStorage or other browser-based storage mechanisms (e.g., IndexedDB) to save user drafts automatically.
  • Ensure that templates persist across browser sessions without requiring a server-side database.
• Browser API-Driven Conversion Engine:
  • Implement the entire email template conversion and export logic using only Browser APIs. This means no server-side processing for generating the final HTML.
  • Support export formats suitable for email clients (e.g., clean HTML with inline CSS).
• Pre-built Templates:
  • Include a selection of ready-to-use templates for common use cases, such as:
    • Simple Event Invitations
    • Newsletter Layouts
    • Promotional Emails
