THE FUTURE of the WORDPRESS Site Editor???
This video walks through an interactive prototype that takes a serious run at that question. The Site Editor is one of WordPress's most powerful tools - but internal research identifies it as the number one driver of negative support outcomes, and the reasons why are specific and fixable. This prototype tests what happens when you remap the editor around user goals rather than system concepts, keeping the full WordPress architecture intact underneath.
Same blocks. Same templates. Same data model. Different entry points, different language, different defaults.
The prototype is live and free to try - see the pinned comment for the link.
Built during Automattic's Radical Speed Month - a one-month experiment giving small teams full autonomy to build without the usual approval layers. This is not an official WordPress product and doesn't represent any official roadmap. It's an experiment, and this video is the start of a wider conversation.
