I think he is referring to customizable views in the webgui from the almond. A status page with some sensor data, status of devices, buttons that manually trigger or adjust certain scenarios. All customizable, a page for lighting, security, outdoor, etc.
I would use it if it is available. If it can be done in the app thats OK too, but it would be a great easy acces solution for (cheap) wallmounted tablets or any web enabled device. maybe even smart tvs? Im not a big fan, but it could open up even more interaction there as well.
