Please have a look at the "paragraphs"-project, cause I guess that it´s a similar approach and to join forces would be cool.
What I´m missing in general is a more visual ui for the content creator (icons for the different content options, e.g. video - picture - picture-set ... ) which should be configurable by the sitebuilder somehow. For inspiration have a look at the google+ ui for a post.

If you need support on conception, ui-design or frontend, please let me know.

Hi!
Thanks for sharing!
If you want to see some code, have a look at https://github.com/donquixote/drupal-nestedbox.
So far I did not get around publishing on drupal.org.

It seems this is somewhere between field collection and nestedbox + entityreference + inline entity form.

Could you explain a bit the difference? I assume it introduces a new field type, and is not based on entityreference?

See also #1569970-13: Reuse of field collection entity type on more than one collection field? and following posts.

General question: Is it preferable to use entityreference + a custom widget, or is it better to have a new field type?

Can you "nest" this stuff? E.g. paragraphs within a paragraph?
And how does it behave with entity translation / field translation?

For the entity definition:
I am dreaming of a module that would make this a lot easier.
#2191683: Less verbose API

I did not have time for this yet..

Btw, I am currently struggling with creating the submenu items in the admin menu via hook_admin_menu_map()

And .. I refuse to work on anything that does not use either PSR-0 or PSR-4 for the classes ..

I will checkout your module, also made an issued in the "paragraphs"-module, that they should have a look. I´m sure they can answer your questions better like me. I´m just a frontend guy.

There's also two other similar modules that might be worth checking out:
https://drupal.org/project/content_nodes
https://drupal.org/sandbox/davereid/1992424 - Inline entity form rendered

Re #11: There is also the Inline Entity Form Preview module for this :)
