Hi all, Is there any work happening around this at this time, or planned?

From my brief experiment trying to build a simple "hello world" style course with Adapt, the direct editing of JSON-encoded content is a showstopper.

JSON syntax errors aside (easy to catch), I am more concerned with the lack of a tool that performs Adapt-aware semantic validation. Right now, I am struggling with getting a simple one course-page-article-block-component to work. And the failure mode is an empty page, no help whatsoever with determining what I am doing wrong.

An authoring tool will probably avoid such issues, but I don't think it replaces the need for build-time validation of course content.
