Did you try using the "Say" blocks? I know they don't look quite as nice, but this is what I use when I'm building something "text based".


We ended up redesigning the app to be better for "say" and "prompts", but our original design just had a couple of big number displays on the screen and a button - something he literally drew out first on paper. We had to basically fail at that before making it more text based.


Why wouldn't you lead with this? Even the limitations you called out seemed to be fairly easily worked around.
