First of all: I am not a GUI dev. I have never done GUI development, so this will be a learning experience for me.
That said, I think a single-column layout would be best for the first step.
Later, we can add some interactive stuff and make it optionally multi-column.
My primary goal for this app in terms of visuals are:
Simplicity: The app should not look overloaded. Hovering for making additional knobs visible is (IMO) a good idea.
Visually pleasant: The app should look stylish. Not "fancy" with a lot of details, but highly polished as in few visual details. Think of a showroom for kitchen/bath interior. Everything should look absolutely tidy.
I guess I'll sketch something how the app should look like and post it here.
Besides that, it should be nice for (GUI-)power-users still. But that's more on the functional side of things, I guess. Vim-like bindings and such. Maybe we can integrate neovim as a library? We'll see.
