ScreenForge
Real apps are screens made from state. Read a little screen’s code — a
Text, a Toggle, an if, a Button — see the screen it
makes, then tap a control and predict the new screen. A tap runs an action that changes
the state; the screen is just the view re-reading it.
Every screen here is drawn by really running the view — nothing is a stock picture. Runs on your device; nothing leaves it.

Stackwell reads the screen top to bottom, row by row -
Switchel flips a value on and off -
Nametag follows a button to the one value it changes
