I never watch videos (I can't skim read a video and they usually involve audio and that's usually inconvenient).

So without the video I'm struggling to understand what "programming" with superblocks means. Is it drag and drop visual programming? Show me a screengrab. Is it coding? What does the syntax look like?

Is it a mixture of both? I want to see both.

Yes - I'm lazy and probably could have read more but lazy, busy people are good test subjects as they probably make up the majority of eyeballs.

Thanks for the feedback - our docs are more text heavy and might be better suited for skimming. Our quick start guide might be a good starting point: https://docs.superblocks.com/getting-started/5-min-quickstar...

There isn't any drag and drop when it comes to programming in Superblocks. You can write good ol' regular Python/JS to create APIs and program your event handlers in the UI!

Yep. That's exactly the thing I would have liked to have seen near the top.

To my mind, an amalgam of the gifs on that quickstart should be on your home page as the hero image.
