Suggestion: Terminal style app suite

Was talking with @jmlowden and @andreadiaz in Office Hours today about different app architecture options for a new use case Jim is looking to deploy.

One of the options we discussed was the “terminal” architecture design from this article: How to Build Composable Apps

Would be great to have an example of this type of architecture in the Library so that users can use it as a starting point!

I agree, a Library App Suite showcasing this app pattern would be very helpful.

One watch out is the level of complexity behind these techniques.
Easiest Terminal App Pattern architecture is one “Home” app which routes to several linear procedure app and only returns to the Home app after a procedure is complete/cancelled.
A more complex architecture, is the pattern structure highlighted in the video in this Community post.

Perhaps, it would be beneficial to highlight both App Pattern techniques and the design tradeoffs in the Tulip Library or Tulip University.
