Make each screen show what someone actually needs day to day, with detail and rarely-touched settings a click away rather than removed. User's answers 2026-09-20: a pass over the whole app, and the rule is show less by default rather than delete or merely re-space. Nothing loses a capability.\n\nWhere it stands today, as the starting point: the dashboard carries scan controls with timeout and sweep options permanently above the cards, and each card shows status, device lines, a profile table and several links; a camera page shows Live plus five panels (Streams, Image, Advanced image, Time & NTP, Network) with editing inside each; the recordings page lists every clip with camera, time and size. Obvious candidates: fold the scan options away until wanted, let a card show a picture, a name and status with the rest on demand, merge Image with Advanced image, put the long read-only detail behind a disclosure, and keep editing in one place per camera.\n\nPriority 1. Not decided yet, and worth settling before building: whether disclosures remember their state per person, how this interacts with the small screens the app already supports, and what the first-run experience should look like when there is nothing to show yet. Accessibility and the icon rules (pri-8ev5m89) still apply: hiding by default must not hide meaning, and a disclosure needs a name that says what is inside.","status":"active","owner":null,"attrs":{},"weight":1,"target":null,"direction":"up","unit":null},"at":"2026-09-20T11:32:50.607Z","parents":["evt-cm006jpy02wy"],"hash":"8f416d497bd5e72e907250d5fb4a9c438649fd7e03c1cb72b51e34b5d6f07caa"}
