Posted to Designing component types that work well together, in reply to Mark Vogelaar , Jun 23, 2022 Posted to Ask DN: What side projects are you working on?, Apr 17, 2018 Blocks Edit: http://blocksedit.com An email editor for custom-designed email templates.
As we've been designing/developing email templates for clients, we decided giving them a way to build and edit emails from our templates would make things a lot easier for everyone!

Posted to Email design/builder inspiration, Apr 17, 2018 We're an email design/dev shop and we've built an editor that we use for our clients to build and update emails from the templates we make for them. We've recently launched it as a standalone product with a simple API for other designers to use as well: http://blocksedit.com
Posted to ASK DN: Email Editor as a service? Best way for clients to build emails from a template?, Feb 06, 2018 We've built an editor that is ESP agnostic and integrates into any kind of template within minutes. It's straight-foward drag and drop editing and you can invite anyone to build emails and make content updates. Check it out at blocksedit.com and let me know what you think!

Thanks Mark. It was intended to be short as other blog posts on the site tend to be a similar format. The goal was to have the visual example accompany the text in getting the idea across. There are also a few links sprinkled in for additional details.
