Good Idea, but I didn't like the interface very much.

Hey Ethan,
I'd like to learn more about why so we can improve and make the experience better. What specifically didn't you like about the interface? Was it hard to use or was it UI related?

After using it a little bit more. I think what was hard for me initially (and is still a little cumbersome) is that the rendered markdown windows weren't always pinned if I started exploring the code.
I don't have a ton of experience using VS code so that may be something specific to me and could probably be fixed with a short intro guide on how to use this editor before I delve into a hyperdoc for a project.
Aside from that, one thing I didn't like about the UX is that if I did click a link in the rendered markdown for a specific function, let's say create.. then I didn't have a way to browse "back" to the top level README hyperdoc without clicking the readme in the file tree.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. We're actually redoing the UI/UX so that the Hyperdocs are easier to navigate, so we'll be posting a guide with the new interface soon! Thanks for the feedback!
