We also noticed that now, we got a few requests for it. So now we're considering to start offering this in the future.

Thanks for sharing the z-index issues! We're going to fix them asap.

So basically you'd want an embeddable white-label version of Tabular that you can integrate in your app. I'd be interested to discuss this idea further with you. If you'd want to add me through our Linkedin or Twitter, I'd be interested to have a chat about this.

Thanks! It's different from the other builders in that Tabular is more flexible and really focused on speeding up your email production. Designing is done more intuitively and visually (adjusting styling, margins, paddings, gaps, dimensions etc.) and you get to design complex design structures.

One of the biggest USPs is the ability in Tabular to switch to mobile mode and visually design a completely different look-and-feel for when your email is opened on mobile devices. For now, when almost 50% percent of email opens is done on mobile phones a good mobile email experience is equally as important as desktop.

Interesting, I can imagine that if you only edit your templates 1-2 times a year you wouldn't need a recurring subscriptions. With the always free plan you can download 3 HTML emails per month, so if you only need to tweak 3 of your templates per month you wouldn't have to resubscribe.

Also haven't seen it done yet. Maybe because Auth0 is a developer product, most of the developers ended up just adding HTML manually. But still I can imagine having a direct integration is way more convenient.

I get what you mean, but it could definitely be a nice way to get users familiar with the tool.

Interesting! I'll be sure to keep Svix in mind if we're going to add webhooks.

Currently not, how would you want to use the webhooks?

You're quick! That's amazing to hear!

Cool to hear you've worked on something similar before, thank you for the compliments!

With steps in mind you mean product direction or growth strategies? You could send me a DM on our Twitter, if you want to chat a bit on these topics.

Thanks! Do you mean an integration that would push the email HTML file to your git repo directly? That's a really cool idea, I'll look into it!

Ah yeah at the moment the marketing pages do not detect if someone is logged in so it doesn't alter the buttons yet. I can understand it's confusing, so I'll add this soon.

That error page is hosted by Auth0 but definitely bad user experience. I'll research if I can work around their solution and improve the experience.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Really nice to hear that you think it's a much better fit. One of my goals is to make it even more transactional-email-friendly by adding more cool-looking templates and integrations (with Auth0 for example) in the future.

Totally forgot on enabling the social connections, I just flipped the switch in Auth0 for Google sign-in. Thanks for pointing it out!
