The Wheel
This is a working replica of the editing wheel, built from ordinary Snazy blocks. Click any seat and it explains itself below, exactly like the real one does around the rows of your pages.
Click a seat. It explains itself below.The four arrows: add a row
The arrows sit at the top, right, bottom, and left of the outer ring. Each one adds a new row on that side of the row you're editing: pick a block for it and it drops into place. The direction of the arrow is the direction the new row lands, so you never have to guess where something will appear.
The bin: remove this row
The bin on the outer ring's upper left takes the row off the page. It asks before it acts, and it removes only the placement: the block and its content survive, ready to be placed somewhere else.
Save
The save seat on the outer ring's upper right writes your changes to the page draft. Publishing is what pushes a draft live; until then, only you see the changes. Same seat, same corner, every time.
Edit content
The edit seat on the inner ring's upper right opens the row's fields for editing in place. Every editable field gets a highlight; click one and type. No separate form, no losing your place on the page.
Style
The style seat on the inner ring's upper left enters style mode for the row. Click any element and change exactly what you clicked: spacing, color, type, background. The page updates live as you work.
More and less: content
The plus and minus seats at the bottom of the inner ring add another piece of content to the block or take one away: another card in a grid, another column, another entry in a list. The block's layout absorbs the change automatically.
The question mark
The centre seat. Hold it and every seat on the wheel shows its name in words. If you ever forget what a glyph does, the wheel itself will tell you; you don't need to come back to this page.
What you just clicked, on a real page
Why the controls live on a wheel
When you edit on Snazy, the controls come to you. Press Edit on any page you're viewing signed in, point at a row, and the Wheel wraps around it. You never leave the page to change the page.
Because every seat keeps its position, your hands learn the wheel the way they learn a keyboard: save is always upper right, style is always upper left, content is always at the bottom, and each add-arrow points where the new row will land. That spatial memory is the point. You remember a place and a gesture instead of a path through menus, and after a session or two you stop reading the buttons entirely.
The seats
- The four arrows sit at the compass points of the outer ring. Each adds a new row on that side of the one you're editing; the arrow's direction is where the row lands.
- The bin (outer ring, upper left) removes the row. It asks first, and only the placement goes; the block and its content survive.
- Save (outer ring, upper right) writes your changes; publishing pushes them live.
- Edit (inner ring, upper right) opens the row's fields for in-place editing. Click a highlighted field and type.
- Style (inner ring, upper left) enters style mode: click any element in the row and change exactly what you clicked, live.
- ＋ and − (inner ring, bottom) add another piece of content to the block or take one away: another card, another column, another list entry.
- The ? in the centre shows every seat's name in words. The wheel explains itself, which is why this page is short.
The demo above is built from ordinary Snazy blocks wired with Signals; the real wheel appears the moment you edit your own pages.
