HTML Layout: Mixing [Element] and [Signal Element] in an Elm Web Application

I am reading about flow down, and we will assume that we will stack the elements vertically on our website. What should you do when parts of your site are signals? I would like to present the website as follows:

  • Introduction
  • Dynamic component
  • More static text

Type flow down: [Element] -> Element, so I can’t just navigate in [signal Element]as I would like. In the previous solution, I saw solutions with participation lift, so here is what I came up with:

import Random
main = column <~ (constant "5") ~ (Random.range 0 100 (every second))
column x y = flow down [asText x, asText y]

Here, I simply add number 5 on top of a randomly changing number. Maybe it depends on the size of the window,

import Random
import Window

main = column <~ (constant "5") ~ Window.dimensions
column x y = flow down [asText x, asText y]

Is this good practice or are there better ways to make a layout in Elm?

      Signal.map2 (\a b -> [a, b]) (show x) (show y)
