/// An interactive cross-platform application.
///
/// This trait is the main entrypoint of Iced. Once implemented, you can run
/// your GUI application by simply calling [`run`](#method.run).
///
/// - On native platforms, it will run in its own window.
/// - On the web, it will take control of the `<title>` and the `<body>` of the
///   document.
///
/// An [`Application`] can execute asynchronous actions by returning a
/// [`Command`] in some of its methods. If you do not intend to perform any
/// background work in your program, the [`Sandbox`] trait offers a simplified
/// interface.
///
/// When using an [`Application`] with the `debug` feature enabled, a debug view
/// can be toggled by pressing `F12`.
///
/// # Examples
/// [The repository has a bunch of examples] that use the [`Application`] trait:
///
/// - [`clock`], an application that uses the [`Canvas`] widget to draw a clock
/// and its hands to display the current time.
/// - [`download_progress`], a basic application that asynchronously downloads
/// a dummy file of 100 MB and tracks the download progress.
/// - [`events`], a log of native events displayed using a conditional
/// [`Subscription`].
/// - [`game_of_life`], an interactive version of the [Game of Life], invented
/// by [John Horton Conway].
/// - [`pokedex`], an application that displays a random Pokédex entry (sprite
/// included!) by using the [PokéAPI].
/// - [`solar_system`], an animated solar system drawn using the [`Canvas`] widget
/// and showcasing how to compose different transforms.
/// - [`stopwatch`], a watch with start/stop and reset buttons showcasing how
/// to listen to time.
/// - [`todos`], a todos tracker inspired by [TodoMVC].

///
/// If you just want to get started, here is a simple [`Application`] that
/// says "Hello, world!":

/// ```no_run
/// use iced::executor;
/// use iced::{Application, Command, Element, Settings, Theme};
///
/// pub fn main() -> iced::Result {
///     Hello::run(Settings::default())
/// }
///

///
/// impl Application for Hello {
///     type Executor = executor::Default;
///     type Flags = ();
///     type Message = ();
///     type Theme = Theme;
///
///     fn new(_flags: ()) -> (Hello, Command<Self::Message>) {
///         (Hello, Command::none())
///     }
///
///     fn title(&self) -> String {
///         String::from("A cool application")
///     }
///
///     fn update(&mut self, _message: Self::Message) -> Command<Self::Message> {
///         Command::none()
