Photon Designer progress and general progress

This has been a tougher week. I’ve been frustrated at the amount of work still to go to make the current version of Photon Designer useful.
So: time to cut and streamline.

I’m re-shaping the MVP to have a subset of features → I’ll focus on making a good form designer at the start, rather than a complete frontend builder.
