Scrap that feature

I spent a lot of time this week working on the create template functions for Audience. I think for now I'm going to scrap it and get rid of it for the moment.

The problem is I can't get it right that it gives the user a really good experience. It breaks the newsletter builder and some other features I have coming down the line.

Simple things would work fine but users never do the simple. I think for now the right decision for me is to scrap what I've been doing and see if I can work out a better way.

Wire up the Template save

Getting the templates saved to the DB against the user and their site.

This will also make it easier for me to add templates to the system, next up being able to open these templates in the builder.

Design UI Templates

Designed the UI Flow for creating templates in Audience.

Add new table for user templates

I'm building out the system to now allow users to load their own custom templates, to take the existing template and clone it.

The first step was to build out a table and the backend to store the templates.

Login screen

Now that I've cleared it up, I can start building it, a new login screen up first.
