Hi all,
 
Just a list of things that - I think - make no sense while building an app.

    Not going to comment on most of them. But nesting galleries is a bad idea from a performance point of view. You are forcing the app to retrieve a lot of information that the user will probably never look at.  Building your app with cascading Galleries, where the second or Third gallery depends on the selection from the previous gallery is a much more sustainable design.

    I agree on the performance issue, however in some situations I feel like this is needed.
    For example, my company's scheduler has a giant screen so that he can assign tasks to employees for a full week, in different places.
    This results in a 3D array looking like this

                             Monday                                                                                                                Tuesday     [...]     Sunday         (nb of working days is dynamic)
    Test bench 1     [3 rows in a vertical container (might be dynamic) for all 3 shifts]
    Test bench 2
    Test bench 3
    [...]
    Test bench 10
     
    (also dynamic)
     
    Currently I have to use containers for the inner grid, then 2 galeries (one of them being nested) for the 2D outer array
