I think that the strength behind Glamour is the idea of this flow. But this means that when there is no such flow in your UI then Glamour does not really work. I tried strange things with AspectMaps some time ago, and I could make it work, kindof, but the code was ugly, hard to understand and in the end I did not really get what I wanted.
Maybe it would be worthwhile to write the non-flow part of your UI in Spec as ComposableModels, and then combine these as separate presentations inside Glamour. I never tried that, because AspectMaps predates Spec.

I’ve read a chapter in Deep Into Pharo book, and all there is in Moose Book. And everywhere there is this idea of “flow”, that one parts of visualization, are representing something transmitted from other parts. There are a lot of cases when I want to do something that does not have this notion of a flow. For example I want to have a main view and then use some widgets to modify it, or I have two representations of the same model and want to keep them in sync. Should I use a “dynamic presentation” for that? Are there any real projects like that, to see how they are implemented?
