👋🏽 Hi, Product hunters, This is my first launch here! I made this new thing called Potion. Here's the problem I had, and why I built this: 🥺 The Problem: I keep an email list of over 20k subscribers I've grown over the past decade as an author and blogger. Email templates are hard, and I know this first-hand from trying many other options. I never seemed to find a tool I loved. Most platforms I tried had outdated UX, and the decent options were too opinionated or bundled in other expensive software (aka needles monthly subscriptions) What if I could build a solution I loved: with great UX, no monthly subscriptions (at least to start creating templates), exports to HTML, and includes practical email samples from known brands? ✨ The Solution: Being a Notion fan, I created Potion for a modern template authoring experience that's free to use. I bounced the idea off my younger brother and started a journey of building and iterating for two months. The result is what I'm sharing with you today. ✨ What next? My plans for the future include creating an even more impressive number of ready-to-use templates from real-world brands you know and love. Ultimately, my goal is to make it possible to create 99% of emails with Potion — without the need to write a line of code. Give Potion a try, and let me know what you think. Cheers!

@ohansemmanuel This looks amazing, I think every marketer has struggled at some point with creating a decent email template 😅
Ohans Emmanuel
That's so true! @sandra_idjoski I hope you give it a try and see if it really makes creating templates easier!

As a Notion user and designer that’s struggled with WYSIWYG email editors, I have to give this a try. Also, well done on a productive 2 months to ship. Congrats on the launch!

It's a very interesting approach. As someone who likes to use notions, I find it straightforward to navigate and build emails. I think you will have a successful business out of this. Good luck and congratulations on your launch! @ohansemmanuel

Congrats on the launch! This is a really awesome product to improve efficiency!
Ohans Emmanuel
Thanks! @feichen_ Efficiency is what I was going for. Particularly for those who've experienced the pain of fighting "drag and drop" template builders.

The templates are a nice touch - like combining ReallyGoodEmails with an email builder.
Ohans Emmanuel
@sarah_wright7 thanks! I didn't even know about "ReallyGoodEmails". Gonna check them out even more. Your description seems spot on.
Ohans Emmanuel
Potential new tagline: Really good emails - with an email builder 😆
Trent Kennelly
This DEFINITELY has a Notion feel to it! I work with email a LOT, and totally agree it can be a massive pain to build what you want. Really cool idea here. How have you taken deliverability into account? This type of email can often be a bear to deliver.
Ohans Emmanuel
@trent_kennelly thanks for the thoughtful comment. Re: deliverability, even though Potion doesn't send emails atm, we internally ran some tests using Postmark (for sending emails) and haven't had problems. Is there a standout reason you think these kinds of emails are harder to deliver? Happy to research further.

🙌 Finally -- I love the "examples" to help you get started. This is a total game-changer, much better than the WYSIWYG editors. Good luck with the launch!
Ohans Emmanuel
Thanks! @henryngo I've had my share of frustrations with the classic WYSIWYG editors :)
Dalton Boles
Our team is constantly on notion, we look forward to checking this out. Congrats on the launch this is looking very promising!
