Adding Content-Blocks within 1-2nd (one second)

In the standard DNN implementation, adding a module to a page is very cumbersome. It takes at least 6 steps, namely:

1. Click on Module (a menu appears)
2. Click on Insert-Module in a the menu
3. Wait for the page to reload, as it will now go to edit-mode
4. Choose a module and drag...
5. ...and try, really, really try hard, to drop it in the right place
6. Wait for the page to reload

This is kind of ok once you get used to it, but it's really not nice. It also takes about 10-20 seconds; possibly longer. Not sexy.

Our solution is basically a JavaScript which detects when the mouse hovers between modules or between content-blocks (that's another new feature in 2sxc 8.4). It will automatically show a small menu when it's close to a module-border and show the correct menu-buttons to either insert new modules, or insert new content-blocks (more about that later). 

This is another important step to fully managing content in normal view mode, without the slow edit-mode.

Of course we're also preparing for mobile use. Here's a screenshot of a very small screen.

We love it, and we hope you do too :)
