Tabular is a no-code email design tool that feels like Figma. Plus, it gives you full control over how your emails look on mobile devices.

Hi! I’ve been in the web development industry since 2008, and I noticed the industry was lacking a modern intuitive email design tool. One that gives you full control over how your transactional/marketing emails look on mobile devices, and that feels like designing in Figma. Tabular fills that void. Unique about Tabular is its intuitive way of designing a drastically different look-and-feel for mobile phones. It’s projected that 50 percent of opens will be on mobile phones this year. I’ve developed an algorithm that automatically generates bulletproof HTML that takes care of developing hybrid mobile-first responsive email code. Tabular is a no-code email design tool that makes it super easy and enjoyable to create emails. For your SaaS, newsletter, (web)app, e-commerce, marketing campaigns - you name it. Perfect for if you want to: - design transactional emails for your app; - design marketing emails to promote products; - design and write newsletters enjoyably; - design email templates for your clients. I’ve built 18 integrations so you can directly upload and send out Tabular emails using some of the major email platforms (SendGrid, Postmark, Mailgun, etc.). Otherwise you can download/copy the email HTML. Almost all major email sending platforms allow you to use custom HTML emails. Try out a random email here >> https://tabular.email/demo/random You can quickly create emails from scratch using the collection of pre-made blocks. Or you could use any of the email templates in the library. 🔮 What’s next? I’m working on more features. To name a few: automatic suggestions for template variables, team style libraries, and a version that you can embed in your own SaaS. 🥐 Share your feedback! I’d love to get your thoughts and feedback! Try it out and let me know what you think. Max

Hey Max! 👋 I'm intrigued by Tabular and its potential to disrupt the email marketing industry. Its mobile-first approach and intuitive design system is refreshing and much needed, considering the rise of mobile opens. Also, huge props for its seamless integration with major email platforms! Have you considered adding features for A/B testing or data analytics? It'd be exciting to see how a design influences open & click-through rates.

@pavel_pantyukhov Hey Pavel! This specific opportunity of being able to presenting performance of designs is one that has come back in conversations earlier. This is one that we'd love to implement if possible. The only bottleneck I see is that because Tabular is not an email service provider, Tabular does not directly has access to performance results of email campaigns. However, it would be awesome if there'd be a way to fetch the campaign results from email service providers, after a Tabular template has been used. Now that I think of it, it may be possible to automatically pull the results from an email service provider if that campaign used a Tabular template. It would mean that this could only be automatically possible if the template was uploaded using one of our integrations. We'll think about this further, great idea! I'm out of PH bright idea awards but otherwise I'd love to give this one.

Figma for email: Easy enough to understand! Is it built in top of React Email? Would it be possible to design our emails here and export them as a React Email component?
Max Bos
@jobenjada Thanks Johannes! We've developed a proprietary email HTML generator algorithm ourselves, so it doesn't use React Email. The design you make in the editor is actually stored as a unique datastructure, from that datastructure Tabular's algorithm generates email HTML. Tabular automatically exports your email to bulletproof email HTML that is also supported in older Outlook email clients. Would it not be easier to just use Tabular's exported HTML directly together with for example Resend?
Johannes
@maxbos true! But we are using React Email already and won't be able to move away from it (its quite a niche use case specific to embedding survey questions in an email). Will try it out anyways :)
Max Bos
@jobenjada Awesome!

Designing email templates is very difficult. Does this allow you to copy the HTML into Gmail?
Max Bos
@kingromstar Gmail unfortunately does not allow you to send complex HTML (including media queries) straight from your Gmail inbox. The best way to send HTML emails would be through an email service provider.

@kingromstar I think there are some "HTML for Gmail" addons out there that let you toggle between visual and HTML when you're drafting an email in Gmail. But it's been a few years since I used one so can't help you out with a specific name.

Congrats on your launch! Currently in the exact phase of needing a tool like this so looking forward to giving it a spin!
Max Bos
@adam_sardo That's amazing, thanks Adam!

💡 Bright idea
A really user-friendly and intuitive editor. Congrats on the launch! It'd be great if there was a preset author block that comes with an image, name, and possibly social media handles.
Max Bos
@duniachap Great idea, we're going to add this block. Thank you Dunia!

This looks amazing

This seems like a great tool to build email templates. I like that it focuses on mobile viewability, which really does need to be the first thing we should be thinking about.
Max Bos
@grant_millar1 Thank you for your support! I'm happy to see that we share the same view, having a unique/solid mobile email reading experience is so important nowadays.
