Thanks! I'll be honest, cell is only a couple of days old, and I myself can't say what The best practices are.

And this is by design because the goal was to create complexity out of simplicity.

I believe this bottom up approach can be much more scalable in the long run than some frameworks that dictate every single detail you need to implement, because all organisms are basically built that way (cells make up body) and they seem to be working fine.

Personally the more I use this the more I find creative ways of using it, which is the beauty.

But I also do realize sometimes it's good to have some sort of "best practice" structure and I think people will figure it out eventually.

TLDR: I think you should be able to build all kinds of sophisticated apps with it because I believe emergence is the best way to construct something. if that's not the case, that doesn't mean the framework is a failure but just needs some tuning, which I believe is totally possible just because the library is so minimal. So please feel free to play with it and share if you run into trouble, we can evolve cell just like cells evolve in the real world.
