Creating TableSchemer for iOS

That being said, reading through the docs it's a bit unclear to me what this actually is. What sort of use cases does this thrive in? What form application uses might it not be a good fit? I haven't had a problem wiring up relatively complex interactive static table views using Storyboards, so I'm curious to hear about what you mean when you talk about how it can be difficult to add "interactivity" when using Interface Builder.
I'd love to see some more examples, ideally with screenshots. Some clear explanation for the jargon would also be nice — a high-level definition of what a "scheme" is (at least as you're using the term) would go a long way towards helping me understand this and understand how to dive into using it. If the idea of a "table scheme" is a common design pattern I'm just not familiar with, even a link to an external article would be very helpful.
The primary case is to build interactive static table views in code. It's best use case is when you just have a form to fill out. We plan on adding more interactive controls to the schemes, such as hiding or showing arbitrary ones, but for now all the interactivity lies within the scheme objects (which, by the way, is just a term we decided to use. I'll figure out a better way to define what a scheme is, but it is essentially a piece of the form that is closely related. For example, it could be a list of wifis available, or a group of cells that act as a radio selection, or just one cell).
I haven't had a lot of experience with creating interactive (I should clarify that by interactive, I'm referring to adding and removing cells from the table view) static table views using storyboards. The only decent way to do it I've found was changing the height of a cell to zero, and then adjusting it to the original value when it needs to be shown. I'd love to hear some of the other solutions you've come up with.
We do most of our work without storyboards, so having this has helped a lot in creating these in code.
