    • Nice landing page UI. But may be you can optimize on the copy. Its probably too verbose. Good luck

    • Nice work, OP. I clicked with a chip on my shoulder the size of my Emacs init file, but was pleasantly surprised to find something that reminds me more of Hypercard. Best of luck.

    • Hmm, "app editor", maybe, but definitely not "text editor".
