Caveat: I'm describing the upcoming version of WordLand, in development.
I have the editor in WordLand working superimposed on the timeline.
If you look at Twitter, Facebook, Bluesky, Threads and probably 18 other social media apps, this is how it works. The timeline goes down the middle. It's the star, the focus.
If you see something you want to write about, or comment on, you need a text box to write into. All the writing features of the network are in that dialog.
Here are some of the ways the editor in WordLand can be brought to the surface.
To close the editor, click outside the edit box. This is different from other social media apps. They close the editor when you publish because they don't allow editing, but WordLand does allow editing. When I write a post and publish it that's when the editing begins (not really, actually yes).
There's always an editor window available to be opened, the last one you edited. You can choose a command from the menu to get that, but I think that may be an icon as well.
