where to write?

[Soba77]

I find myself wanting to write and edit in the nodes themselves. But it has not been the greatest experience with the lack of space and hidden text (...)

If the Instructor is in fact the main place to write and edit text, I feel it should be clear, perhaps it should be on the left side or pop more by default.

If nodes are a place to write and edit i suggest,
nodes expand as the amount of text increases, can have a collapse/expand button
another ideas could be, active node pop up in foreground, or literally turns into the inspector.
