Could you build this?
Partial While basic React WYSIWYG components are vibe-codeable, building a cross-client email rendering engine that generates bulletproof HTML/table layouts is notoriously hard.
What it would actually take: The frontend is a React-based visual drag-and-drop builder, but the core engine must compile JSON ASTs into backwards-compatible HTML compatible with hundreds of email clients (Outlook Word-engine, Gmail, Apple Mail). The hard part is reverse-engineering CSS/HTML quirks across legacy mail clients, handling inline styling, and ensuring deterministic AST-to-HTML compilation. It requires deep institutional domain knowledge of email rendering specifications and compatibility testing infrastructure.
