I'm not sure but what you describe looks like a (e)magazine with several issues (you call them Articles/bundle) where each issue has it's own layout/design - and probably navigation but it seems also there is a global menu - a cross issues menu - present on all issues.

Can you describe this navigation widget ? Is it available over all apps/Articles/issues ? Do the Articles gets modified after the first synchronization ? Do you have somekind of administration to edit them ? In the other mail you say «But I still find myself creating bare apps with some crazy model defined that only has 1 table row.», could you describe one of this table/row and generalize to the other similar tables ?
