I'm trying to use composer to create some content. It looks like a good idea, but making it work is killing my brain.

It's really hard to position things, when new block is created it seems to go wherever it wants, and it's really hard to move or delete. I currently have something in my content and I can't select, delete, move it.

If I can work out how this stuff works it may be a feasible tool, otherwise I'll switch back to JCE.

I also can't get the "preview" blog post button to work. It just says saving draft and then nothing happens.
I can't edit the post above. The YouTube video has been deleted and reupload. Here's the latest if anyone wants to use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okGN0E4tFwI

Hey,

Most of the interaction with the new composer are drag and drop. If you do not like the block that you have added into the editor, you could just click and drag the block to the right as you can trash the item by dropping it into the trash can.

To be honest with you, our vision of the new composer is to allow users to compose blog posts in a different perspective. However, we are still limited to what we can do within Joomla as we are limited to constraints of a Joomla component, not to mention the amount of conflicts that we need to resolve / fix since the birth release of EasyBlog 5

I've worked it out now, I was struggling to drag things off the page. I have decided that clicking into the particular item, then dragging the top left of it is the best way. I will create a video of how to use composer and put it on our JUG site.

Here's the vid:
