OP here!
I've got a few different competing ideas at various stages of development.
One idea builds on the programming language I'm building. I am growing more doubtful that it's going to provide the beginner-friendly experience I yearn for. It might be as easy as Elm one day, but that's not good enough for grandma.

Another idea is like "markdown, but with a grid model". That one also does not feel very good right now.
I've also been toying around with something called "BYOD" (bring your own data), where you stitch things together in a simple layout format. This ends up feeling like powerpoint via plaintext, and surprisingly pleasant.
- danielvaughn 3y agoLove that - I also have a few competing ideas around something that sounds very similar. My goal is to create a textual interface that eschews traditional programming conventions in favor of a grammar and syntax that feels familiar to UI designers. I'm calling the overall effort "matry" - right now it's a language but that could change in the future: https://matry.design/ https://matry.design/
