I've been looking for a way to accomplish zooming into (what are essentially) flow charts, and the scaleFactor property is making this possible. The currently behavior is is wonky (need a way to keep the window dimensions stable while the scaling takes place) but it's working and shows the potential of doing things like a scalable drawing canvas like you'd find in any most pro graphics app. I imagine pinch to zoom could work in some cases on mobile.
The biggest restriction in all this is that *everything* in a stack is scaled. It would be great if there was a way to keep some elements not-scaled. Think of the zoom control in Google maps that stays fixed in size while the map contents are scaled. You can accomplish this on desktop by using a separate stack for the controls, but on mobile where only one stack is visible at a time, I believe you'd have to reverse scale a zoom control and position it while the other stack contents are scaled.
