I'm not a fan of the new Mailchimp email editor + my solution
I found new Mailchimp's email editor quite unfriendly.
It is drag & drop and requires lots of clicking. I don't feel it helps me to create content. Maybe I'm not the right audience for this tool.
Today I figured out a solution - I will write newsletter content in markdown using Typora or in Grammarly editor which is great. Then I will copy/paste it to Mailchimp.
Headers, lists and paragraphs are kept and this is great. Unfortunately, links & images need additional work.
This should remove a mental barrier.
Where do you do the actual writing? Is it inside your newsletter provider web panel or something else? Please share your tips.

Interesting solution. We also we mailchimp and the editor is clunky.
What you can do is use one of the responsive email editors (outside of mailchimp or whatever your emailsoftware is) and create your emails there. There are some great ones like BEE, Stripo and Chamaileon. A complete overview is here: https://www.emailvendorselection.com/compare-email-editors-design-responsive-emails/
Thank you, I was looking for external editors but google listed lots of them and I was lost :)
I will check out the ones that you mentioned. Do you recommend one in particular?
Check out the top three. I'll think you'll like them, technically all solid systems, so it is more up to personal preference.
I totally agree. When it launched, I would just paste the old editor URL in to use that instead.
