I have absolutely no idea what it is or how to use it. It's a web page editor right?

I clicked on the image of a web site on the landing page which loaded what looks like a designer/editor, but clicking around and trying to type things (assuming its an editor) had no result. I 'added a page' or something, but this just confused me even more: now there's the text 'this is just an example page' and I've no idea if I'm supposed to edit it, or what (but I can't anyway so forget it). I looked into the DOM tree to find a text area or anything I could use to interact, but no luck.

I tried, honestly.

Thanks. Yes, it is a web page editor. By clicking on the code button, you get the html code which can be edited and to view the design you click on the design button. The work flow is the same as (text editor[desktop app]) + (check on browser) but this time everything is on the browser. Usually "click and drag" programs don't spit maintainable code which is something i want to avoid.
Ah, I get it now. There's a two-button toggle: 'code/design'. Pressing 'code' allows you to type in HTML. I think 'design' should be renamed 'preview' because I can't edit in design mode (on Chrome but should that make a difference?).

So yeah, if I'm going to be typing HTML, I'll likely do it with my own editor.
