     I don't have enough expertise to try that, sorry. It's better to 
get focused on what I
  think I could be able to achieve, which is a proof of concept on how 
it feels a library like
this with minimal features for now.

     Yes, but for now I'm focusing just in a proof of concept that works.

I think it should be possible to serialize that UI. Anyway, it's just a 
starting point. My view is
that this must be overridable. By overridable I mean that once you have 
this, you will be
able to make it as polymorphic as you want. I haven't thought how I will 
do it yet, but
that's a thing to think about after my first steps.
