Personal applications, based on moveable / resizable elements

Abstract

All the modern day applications have the interface, absolutely defined by the developers. The use of adaptive interface or dynamic layout allows some variations, but even all of them are predetermined on the design stage, because the best reaction (from designer's view) on any possible users' movement was hardcoded. But there is a different world of applications, totally constructed on moveable / resizable elements; such applications turn the full control to the users. The crucial thing in such programs is that not something but everything must become moveable and resizable. This article describes the features of such applications and the algorithm behind their design.
