I think they're trying to invent a new market where none exists yet, and when you do that you HAVE to communicate very clearly. Basically I think they're a WYSIWYG editor for a React SPA. For me, this section helped:

Thanks! That's a lot more helpful. I understand the gist of its value offering now.

Still have questions about how component composition and layout work, but at least the readme is clearer about what the product IS.

For component composition and layout, Plasmic makes it easy to build responsive pages. Our primitives like stacks are all based on flexbox, though you can use absolute positioning if needed.
