The Flight Booker task from 7GUIs had certain date requirements that were easier to satisfy if I used a preexisting package. justinmimbs/date package had support for everything I needed to do and more but it did things a little differently.

I also found that `useState` pattern from React with the variant library a handy pattern: https://github.com/yglukhov/variant and it’s pretty simple to do if you already have a context object: https://github.com/elcritch/fidgetty/blob/f65876af34797f308b...

Excellent list of UI challenges. I’ve been working through a similar list of my own to see if I can make a widget library I’m building in Nim do this [1]. Building on an event-driven immediate mode GUI has been fun.
Now I’m totally going to run off this list. I've only got circles and cells left before I can do all of these challenges.
