right now, there are three branches to look at: a basic modal example without comments, the same basic modal example with comments, and a more fully featured modal example with no comments. i strongly recommend checking out the branch without comments first, poking around, and try to figure out the relationships on your own. once you've exhausted that, take a look at the comments (which for now only exist for the basic version)
