A weakness I've noticed in many nocode apps is you're often stuck with their idea of a good coding layout. UI is fixed, so you can't create views uniquely useful to you, like adapting to outlier screen real-estate/aspect ratios.

my guess is this is inherited from the underlying grain of the Web. it's hard enough to make a good fixed layout in a Web app, let alone a layout with moveable parts: there is no 'moveable part' primitive you can build things out of

Yeah been thinking about that in relation to this: twitter.com/yoshikischmitz Also wondering how we can “hack this in” to existing web apps.

Wondering what it would be like if programs that have a notion of “tabs” or “windows” got rid of them, and focused on just presenting/editing one file/page/note, and left the tabbing/windowing and other multiplexing stuff up to the operating system.

I like the idea that you could 'carve' chunks out of a live Web app and move them around your desktop etc and they all stay wired up to the app in the back
