Would you mind sharing what you have so far? Even just a complete braindump of notes or WIP code could be helpful to move this along! I've started reading some for the docs over at: https://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/index.html I'm getting an idea of some things but it would be useful to hear what you and Claes have explored so far!
