Hi Will,
I am interested in this space. I wrote something I called living documents which is a GUI for composing together behaviours.
There are screenshots here:

The idea was that you could create a data model and widgets as easy as embedding them in a document.
- WillAdams 3y agoI've been using TeX for a long while, and one thing which has frequently struck me is that documents are fundamentally a key-value/markup-content pair and it really should be much easier to to markup and tag documents, and then once they are tagged, changing the appearance should be as simple as swapping out a .css file (which can be achieved in TeX, but requires a bit of effort, though newer documentclasses such as memoir make this much easier), but there doesn't seem to be any sort of effort to stuff a document into a database, re-work it, then get a finished product out. Jupyter Notebooks seem a step in the right direction, but there's no provision for the appearance AFAIK.
