Live LiveCode Create demo

[Paul Dupuis]

Just speaking for myself.

I use substacks for different windows (modal or nonmodal) in my 
application. A substack rarely has more than one card, which has the 
controls for that window laid out the way I want them. Also, substacks 
can just be script libraries or other sorts of libraries (icons, images, 
etc.)

So I already use substack as different layouts in native apps. If moving 
to the web, they effectively become different "pages" (or screens or 
layouts of controls)

I think I have 1 app where I still use multiple cards to store data, one 
record per card. If I have a chance to redo this, the data will be 
stored in a property or variable and the stack will have a single "card" 
or layout where the current record of data is displayed as the user 
navigates through it.

For the most part, I already think of a substack as synonymous with a 
window/screen/page layout of controls for an app.

Now I had watched the whole video with my mental model being ‘layouts’ correspond to a (very smart)  group on a card.   In light of what Kevin said that must be wrong, but I can’t quite see how the Create metaphor maps onto  the ol’ Xtalk hierarchy of things.
