I think that's unnecessary. Most of your code can go in a main stack and libraries and then you just show the appropriate substack (tablet or handheld). I think this simple concept could be part of a framework. > > If you're designing just for phones, then this works great. And same is > true for tablets.

Actually I was thinking a substack for handheld portrait, handheld landscape, tablet p.... Etc. But then I thought about the complexity of maintaining state when you just rotate which for anyone who has done android dev in java will know is a huge issue. You would have to copy content of fields etc so it's not ideal. So now I think just handheld and tablet substacks with orientation handled on a single card. This could mean introducing and removing significant UI components and changing the resize behavior of ones that stay on screen.
