 Contents that is scrollable should be done *virtually* through the contents of the `Container`. This means each container contents implements scrolling for itself if required. Provided with a minimal size option the corresponding container becomes scrollable if the actual containing `Container` is too small to hold the minimal size. Otherwise the `Container` is not scrollable (as it is not necessary). With this the `Container` is dynamically scrollable if necessary (i.e. if the screen size changes, etc.).

   - The scrolling input action would then also be implemented by the user, but how given that some if the user input is already handled (i.e. scrolling with the mouse).
   - *To be implemented:* Automatic rendering of a scrollbar (vertical and/or horizontal - according to the container size and the virtual size).

 ### Tips
 
+Only provide function callbacks for the `Element` implementation if the callback is necessary for the functionality, otherwise do not provide a callback function in the *vtable* when creating an `Element` instance of the implementation.
+
+The `element` initializer function should be the only public function of the `Element` implementation, as the cast of the `*anyopaque` pointer will provide you will an instance of the specific implementation, giving you access to the private functions, members, etc. anyway.
+
 The documentation contains tips about how to implement corresponding event loops or how to design own `Element`s. And also on how to test accordingly and use the library itself for examples on how to design the test cases.

 Composing multiple `Element`s currently requires the implementation of a wrapper which contains the `Element`s that need to be handled (should work pretty well for stateless `Element`s). Such *stateless* `Element`s may be provided by this library.
 
+### Stateful `Element`s
+
+You can capture state in two different places:
+
+1. On a per `Element` instance basis through *member* variables of a given instance.
+2. In the `Model` that is shared accross the entire application.
+
+State using the first idea should be keept at a minimum and used if they are specific to only that `Element` implementation and no others in your application.
+
+State that shall be shared between other `Element`s in your application should propagate their state to the `Model`.
+
+> [!WARN]
+> However keep in might that this might cause side-effects (i.e. having the same `Element` implementation instanciated multiple times in the same `Container` tree, might cause the `handle` callback to be called multiple times in a single event loop iteration).

+> This exact seperatation is also used in android app development using [Jetpack compose](https://developer.android.com/compose). Common patterns, best practices, etc. may also apply for *zterm*.
