It'd be nice to have a process like the following:

1. I free solo a bunch of junk in vanilla javascript with state flowing hither and thither until I'm out of coffee

2. I test the exact behaviors(s) I wanted to make possible in the GUI I just wrote.

3. The framework whitelists only the event chains from my test.

4. For any blacklisted event chains, the user gets a Youtube video screencast of the whitelisted test so they can learn the correct usage of my GUI.

If someone paired this with a code-lite GUI designer, the world would be a brighter place indeed
