I feel like I'm sitting behind a control panel of a nuclear reactor. I press a button, and something (or nothing) happens...I read the text and don't understand 90% of it. I'm afraid to press any more buttons and I have no idea what I'm doing. I quite literally feel like https://i.imgur.com/57bKUlt.jpg However, if this works for you...then great :-)
> "hover the topright of this grid to see the mark button, then click it to mark this grid, then right click the mark sidebar item to edit this grid in the free editor"
I don't see a grid anywhere on the screen. I tried hovering in various top-right corners to figure out where a "mark" button might come up, but to no avail.
I suspect the word "grid" means something else in this application than the usual visual meaning (a regular network of orthogonal lines). You should probably define it first.
I love the idea of giving instructions with a live document, but you lost me already at this second step: > "hover the topright of this grid to see the mark button, then click it to mark this grid, then right click the mark sidebar item to edit this grid in the free editor" I don't see a grid anywhere on the screen.

Straight from Excel.
Intriguing, interesting idea but I have no clue how to use it. You might want to create a video showing how to solve a problem.
A video would take a really long time. I'll make one when I'm done fixing everything. One thing you could try right now is making a 10x10 grid, then clearing the borders of the 2nd column from the left. Everything on the right would be inspiration or raw material. The leftmost column would be the actual draft.
Andy Matuschak talks alot about peripherals. I don't know if you know his writings.
This reminded me of [TreeSheets]( https://strlen.com/treesheets/ )
For starters, Matrix (Classic) is only 2000 lines of code right now. This makes the codebase easy to maintain, and easy for developers to grok/mod.
Other than that, I think limitations are a good thing. You don't need 3D or 4D or XD when 2D is enough. Freedom can mean the freedom to fuck up.
This looks like something I thought of last week! It's like I am dreaming :) It seems to mimic how I take notes: I make sections on a blank piece of paper (ordered by subject/context) and I have never found a good way how to translate this to an editor, where everything is top to bottom. This way I can organize my screen with notes much more like I would organize a piece of paper.
Thanks! Glad to finally have someone have a use for this. Can you tell me more about your usecases?
I agree with those who write that your site is incomplete in terms of usability.
