📌 Overview

Newsletter Studio is a browser-based editor that lets users build newsletters visually. Instead of writing raw HTML, users add prebuilt blocks (header, content, images, etc.) into a live preview area and edit them directly.

Live Preview Drag-style Editing Export HTML/CSS

🧭 Interface Structure

Sidebar (Left Panel)

  • Elements tab: Add newsletter blocks like headers, text, images, and columns.
  • Styles tab: Modify selected block appearance (color, font size, padding).
  • Export tab: Download HTML/CSS files.

Main Workspace (Right Panel)

  • Live preview of newsletter content
  • Editable blocks (click to select)
  • Generated HTML code output
  • Copy-to-clipboard feature

➕ Adding Content Blocks

Users click buttons in the Elements tab to insert components:

  • Header: Creates a title section (<h1>)
  • Content: Adds editable paragraph text
  • Footer: Adds copyright/footer text
  • Columns: Inserts a two-column grid layout
  • Image: Uploads and inserts an image from device
Click a button → block is created → inserted into preview → becomes editable instantly

✏️ Editing & Styling

Each block is content-editable, meaning users can click and type directly.

  • Select a block by clicking it
  • Apply styles using the Style Editor
  • Change background, text color, font size, and padding

A small toolbar (✕ button) appears on each block for deletion.

🧠 Internal State Logic

The app tracks the currently selected element using a simple state object:

state.selectedElement
  • Only the selected block receives style updates
  • Clicking a block updates the selection state
  • All changes immediately refresh the code output

📤 Export System

HTML Export

Removes editing tools and returns clean newsletter markup.

CSS Export

Provides basic styling for layout, columns, and spacing.
