        # Other views can be defined, but it's against the standard. Apps should have single tasks they do very well.
        # The first view is the :main view, and other views come with an ID. You can call these views like so:

        flow do
            button 'Press me to show the timer' do
                show :timer
            end
        end

    end
    
    # The resulting app would have two columns. One with a list of text, the other with a single button. 
    # When the button is clicked a new window opens up with a timer.
end

view :timer, 'Twitter Timer'
    # logic
end

# New methods, classes, or other logic can be kept in modules and included in the view.
