Hello Federico,

Qt has an example for a flow layout in QtWidgets: 
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-layouts-flowlayout-example.html 
(although I'm uncertain why it isn't part of the Qt Libraries). I 
appreciate your recommendation, though that's more of a secondary 
concern for me. I'd just love to get the widget working first, before 
dealing with details like this!

And no, yours wasn't the shoddy one :P
I only looked for examples with QtWidgets, as we're not using QML at all.
