Interesting idea for a specific problem
-
I really like the idea and I think this could someday be something fairly good. I can’t call this production ready today.
Within an hour of testing some basic functionality, I found 2 issues that would be a deal-breaker for the kind of client that would want this solution. I have posted them in the support thread, as a genuine attempt to help improve this plugin.
Outside of these issues, the UI/UX is currently too strict for the type of client that I can see wanting this. You can’t move items. You can only edit a select number of text-based blocks. You can’t add new blocks – even from that same selection. You can edit the text of a text-based link, but not the link. I understand why these things are they way they are. However, for the type of client that wants this functionality, these limitations will probably create more confusion than it is worth.
As of today, this plugin could be used for little more than copywriters fixing basic typos within a block of text.
If I want a client to be able to edit text within layouts, but lock the layout – Gutenberg already has a solution for that. If I want an editor-level user with an incredibly streamlined admin experience, WordPress already has solutions for that. This plugin feels like a solution in search of a problem.
I certainly see the potential and will keep an eye on this. I hope it improves and grows.
