      <title>Stop Screenshotting Emails Into Figma</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you work on email campaigns with a team, you've probably done this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Finish your HTML email&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Screenshot it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open Figma&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Paste&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Share the Figma link&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wait for comments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make changes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Screenshot again&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make changes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;"Wait, which version is this?"
It works. Barely.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why We All Do This&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Figma has great commenting. Click anywhere, leave a comment, it pins to that spot. Tag people. Resolve threads. Everyone knows how to use it.&lt;br&gt;
So when you need feedback on an email, Figma seems obvious. Just paste a screenshot and let people comment.&lt;br&gt;
But it's a workaround, not a workflow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Breaks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
New screenshot for every version. Every time you make a change, that's another screenshot to paste.&lt;br&gt;
Version control is manual. email_v2_final_FINAL_revised.fig. We've all been there.&lt;br&gt;
Team members get confused. Not everyone lives in Figma. Some people find it overwhelming just to leave a comment.&lt;br&gt;
Context switching. Code editor, screenshot tool, Figma, Slack, repeat. Every review cycle is 5 tools.&lt;br&gt;
What I wanted was Figma's commenting. But on the actual email. The live HTML, not a screenshot.&lt;br&gt;
So I built it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EmailQA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Upload your HTML email. Get a shareable link. Send it to anyone.&lt;br&gt;
Reviewers click anywhere on the email and leave comments. A highlight shows exactly what they're referring to. Just like Figma. Reviewers don't need to create accounts.&lt;br&gt;
Upload a new version and compare them side-by-side or with a slider. Edit the HTML right in the tool. Sync comments to Slack and reply from there.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Free forever. $10/mo for Slack integration and team features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a href="https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/ikwyenvtokxrr41zya3g.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Version Slider&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
