I'm starting to use this technique for my own application specific status bars in Emacs and it works really well and looks extremely snazzy. I should probably implement a TUI emacs fallback, but at the moment I'm super stoked about this approach.

chiply's series of posts on the site about VOMPECCCC is a really interesting look into:
- A fantastic UI pattern and it's wide applicability
- Building in a modular way
- How emacs provides a fantastic substrate for packages to fit together
I'm a big fan of his work. The VOMPECCC fruit picker[0] article, was what finally got me to understand (and start using) the power of the stack in my own programs. The whole "propertized string" as "unit of currency" concept I found extremely useful, and now I use a custom consult document picker (with rich annotations) to perform actions on different kinds of XML documents that live in my BaseX database, it's super cool.
I love this. (I probably won't use it as these days I'm a Doom Emacs user and don't want to monkey around with my setup too much, but the concept is great.)
The guy's whole website is also worth clicking around. A huge amount of effort.
