Suppose I were writing an application, perhaps similar to the example at

uilding_a_GUI (or many of the examples in /Developer/Examples/...) that had no file-based interaction whatsoever but for which I wanted to allow the
user to open up and interact with up to N windows.

Using the example above, each newly-opened window perhaps displays something
from quote of the day (QOTD) or some other singular random data source
rather than "Hello World".

It seems the document-based architecture is ill-suited to such an
application because there is effectively no need to open, save, revert,
print, etc. anything.

Does anyone have any recommendation for examples, URLs or books that might discuss and illustrate such an application or the rough framework thereto?


You can open as many windows as you want, they don't have to be associated with documents.

Each one can work in isolation, or if you need to, you can create your own controller that keeps a list of "its" windows.

Not sure I see what the problem is here...
