The current way of adding borders (changing styles) today does not make sense if we want to apply it to the 4 sides. We have to do it cell by cell and it's impossible to predict the output.

It is possible to add borders to Stripes but you can't change their corner radius.

Now you can't save a few structures as a module. The only way is to place them into a separate stripe. But you don't want to have excessive number of stripes on your page not to make your email weight more. Quite often there are cases when different structures belong to each other. For example, when I want to imitate a forum post with an avatar + author name (structure 1 with 2 columns), post text (structure 2 with 1 column) and a section below it with date, number of comments with icon, and reply button with icon (5 columns). In this case it would be convenient to be able to select all three structures and save them as one module. Plus possibility of moving/copying/deleting for multiple structures would be very convenient (I probably forgot about some other manipulations). As an additional idea: When you select objects you always see their controls in the right/left menu. But for such a group of objects this menu will be empty (unless you decide to add some common properties there like paddings or background colors etc.). But even if you keep some common structure properties (which is very useful as well) there should be more free space. You can add some commands to this menu like "Group/Ungroup" for example, so that you can just select them together with one click next time.

Our emails are product heavy so we tend to have rows of 4 products. We want to reduce the scroll as much as possible for mobile which is why the option to stack 2 x 2 on mobile would be ideal. We have found a template that does this, but it requires some coding to tweak colours and spacing so having as part of the fantastic Stripo editor would be awesome. Have attached screenshot examples

I have an idea of how Stripo can make email building much faster by two things: – Developing its own merge tags (you can even give them some unique name like "Data source tag" not to mix up with other merge tags) – Allowing to use data sources not just with AMP emails but also for building normal blocks. Basically it just allows you to generate static email elements from dynamic data sources. Here is a use case: 1) I create some Data source tags (which are structured in some unique format to avoid conflicts with other merge tags). For this example it can be: )))title((( )))description((( )))img((( )))url((( 2) Then I go to the email designer and start building an email 3) The "magic" happens only within a single container. Let's say I added a few blocks in the container: image, text (title), text (description), button 4) In the text editor I can add Data Source Tags the same way I add merge tags – from the dropdown or type manually. They can also be added in any places where I can add text (image source URL, button text, button URL etc.). So in my case I would add them this way: )))title((( inside of a text field )))description((( – also text field )))img((( – in the source image URL field )))url((( – everywhere where I want to add a link. For example, in the Title's and Image's URL fields, and in the button URL field. In general it doesn't matter how many times I use the same tag. 3) I created a json file or Google doc with the same fields (title, description, image, url). I connect it to the email. I probably also need to choose the main field (something like ID that I would use further). In this case it would make sense to choose "title" 4) I choose the container with my tags and click the button Populate from data source. Then I choose: – Connected data source – One item in this data source (you can choose it via dropdown based on the main field (title) I chosen earlier) – It populates the whole container with the data from my json object or table row that has the same main field – basically it is just a search and replace function. It searches for all )))title(((, )))description((( etc. inside this container and replaces them with the respective values from my data file. That's why tags should have some unique Stripo's format not to replace other merge or HTML tags. This function will help users to build emails with multiple products / blog posts etc. much faster. Instead of copy-pasting website elements we can just take them from some files. Another option is to allow doing a similar thing with RSS files – just connect an RSS file to the email, choose some container and allow users to get the data from a specific RSS element. Overall, this idea might not be optimal, that's just something I briefly came up with. It probably can be implemented in a more efficient way. What do you think about something like that?

When you create your emails from scratch you have to either set all your email general settings from scratch or use some empty template. With empty templates it is not a perfect solution because your team is fixing problems or bugs all the time. If I created a template let's say three months ago and there were some global bugs which resulted into incorrect HTML or CSS code this bug will still be in my old template. Because of that I have to create new empty templates every month to make sure that their code is correct. What would work much better: Just add all the email style parameters in the the Workspace – Style Options. Now you have only font parameters there but you can also add something like "Default Email Settings" with the same set of elements we have in the editor. We set it up there, save it and whenever we create a new email chossing "empty template" you just apply all these parameters. That was a basic way of using this feature. It will be even more useful this way: – Add a button in the email designer to reset all your design parameters to the default values. – Add possibility of having multiple pre-saved email settings with different names and selecting them in the email. – Add possibility of updating your parameters right from your email. Plus if it is possible to have multiple sets of settings then you can either Update the current set or save as new.

Nowadays you need to search for ways to increase engagement in your emails and create some interactive elements. And one of the tool is to make your video-embeds "interactive" – show some static picture with a play button as a thumbnail and replace it with gif-picture on hover so that you your receivers see some interesting moments from your video. It also feels quite similar to what you see on YouTube, for example. Here is the problem with the current setup: – I add most of my videos not through the video block but through images because video block does not allow adding rollover-effects. – But images do not have play buttons so I also have to not just take a preview picture from my YouTube video but also edit it. – Allowing rollover images to video-embed blocks will make the whole process much easier. You will be able just to past a URL of your videos, activate the rollover effect and add a gif animation to show on hover without having to edit the thumbnail.

Ideally, I’d like this to work in the same way I set up custom font menus within my profile. My company has an established set of swatch values, so when I click on the color menu, I’d like to be able to see the brand colors I’ve set up in my profile, with custom names that I’ve set up.

I would like an option to see the prebuilt templates page and like/add them to Favourites for future use.

It would be nice to find a design from the prebuilt section and see all similar designs or in that template design.
