Very interesting, actually very good.
I just tested this and for only a few minutes, and so far, so good, NO - so amazing. I did try both methods of locking the content (entire page and on block level), and yes, they work ! What I have not tried yet, is to see if I can make other third party blocks editable. This whole plugin should be part of the core. I hope it makes it by V7.2, and if it does, WordPress will be a whole new beast. Great job Jamie !

Great start
Very promising plugin, exactly the king of thing I am looking for for my next client.So far the only issue I have is that you can't lock / prohibit editing of an entire page or the content inside a specific container of a page. More finesse in the editing scope would be awesome. EDIT: Super fast update addressing my remarks, outstanding! Thank you Jamie!

Interesting idea for a specific problem
I really like the idea and I think this could someday be something fairly good. I can't call this production ready today. Within an hour of testing some basic functionality, I found 2 issues that would be a deal-breaker for the kind of client that would want this solution. I have posted them in the support thread, as a genuine attempt to help improve this plugin. Outside of these issues, the UI/UX is currently too strict for the type of client that I can see wanting this. You can't move items. You can only edit a select number of text-based blocks. You can't add new blocks - even from that same selection. You can edit the text of a text-based link, but not the link. I understand why these things are they way they are. However, for the type of client that wants this functionality, these limitations will probably create more confusion than it is worth. As of today, this plugin could be used for little more than copywriters fixing basic typos within a block of text. If I want a client to be able to edit text within layouts, but lock the layout - Gutenberg already has a solution for that. If I want an editor-level user with an incredibly streamlined admin experience, WordPress already has solutions for that. This plugin feels like a solution in search of a problem. I certainly see the potential and will keep an eye on this. I hope it improves and grows.

Helpful plugin, also works with CPT
Great idea, thank you so much! It works very well with Metabox custom post types as well as with regular WordPress posts. List items can also be edited. Depending on how a post was created, it may first need to be converted into blocks for the plugin to work.

Excellent Front-End Editing Experience
A simple and effective front-end editor for WordPress. Editing content directly on the live page is fast, intuitive, and saves time. Easy to use and works smoothly. Great job!

Clever Idea. Works Well
I have only run a short test, and everything worked great in the Block (Gutenberg) Editor. I really like the idea that this could separate the "Design" of a site to an admin, the allow a restricted user level to work on the text giving a clear distinction of role. Great idea and will keep an eye out on where this develops.
