Hi Alex,
For copy/paste of screens, you can already do this in Appli-
1. Click on the screen background.
2. Use hotkey ctrl/cmd-c to copy the screen. (I've opened a case for us to add this to the right-click context menu)
3. Use hotkey ctrl/cmd-v to paste the screen.
As far as the common app patterns go, we definitely agree that apps should be writeable with as little coding as possible. We plan to add templates (similar to your first example of an overview page) to Appli in the future, though we haven't scheduled this feature yet. As far as the button specification you're talking about, this is something we'll need to discuss internally to see how we would want this to work. I've created a new case for this.
Finally, with regards to sharing commonality between pages, this touches on a feature that we are currently in the process of planning -- components. With components, you would be able to share elements across your app, so you could edit the styling of one button, and it would update across the app. Once the feature is released, you would be able make a group into a component and place instances on all the different pages. Then, when you added a new field to the group, it would also be added across your app. I've also created a new case for our team to discuss the idea of commonalities of different screens, which might warrant a separate feature.
