Potion lets you create modern email templates without battling archaic drag-and-drop editors. Modelled after the intuitive UX of Notion and the extensibility of Figma with AI-powered autocompletion ✨
👋🏽 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 Most platforms I tried had outdated UX, and the decent options were too opinionated or bundled in other expensive software (aka needles monthly subscriptions)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!
I like the fact that you added templates there. Love notion so have to try this out. Why the P?:p
Our team is constantly on notion, we look forward to checking this out. Congrats on the launch this is looking very promising!
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!
🙌 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!
I can really see this style of builder being the future of creating for the web. Email builders have become too complex and marketers haven't got the time to grapple with them so this is a great approach.
This is great - I get migraines from industry standard email template builders. I love Notion so anything that has a similar UI is 🙌🏻 in my book.
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.
The templates are a nice touch - like combining ReallyGoodEmails with an email builder.
Honestly, you had me at Notion style 😅 but amazing to have this, congrats on the launch!
