role management in makecode is confusing to newbie

sehodges commented 2 years ago

here is my experience with trying to understand roles. (BTW everything else I tried before this clip worked perfectly :-). great experience :-).

I guess the specific asks are:

can we have more lines in the list of roles, one for each device?
can we control better how instances are mapped - because right now they seem to swap around?
can we have the instance names appear faster/more consistently in the digital twins?

thanks!
