A suggestion received by a reader on Gitter. They want to know how to build a builder type application where you can drag in components, etc. This was a suggestion from @tosso

Example blog article on this: http://www.sitepoint.com/composition-aurelia-report-builder/

The compose and custom element features of Aurelia seem perfectly designed to create a personalized Dashboard app (e.g. Google Gadgets) where you can drag Dashboard Gadgets onto your Dashboard (weather, company phone directory, office supply ordering tool, etc).

I've read that too but the comment in article states it might not be the prefer way to do UI composition.

Agree with the commenter as well and understand Vildan's point in trying to make it less confusing by focusing on composition, but the toolbox and report are definitely a use case for compose. The other parts of the app should be custom elements.

Parking this for now. There will be far better examples in the applications section soon.
