Great work have enjoyed watching and learning. There is also something new to pick up and use.

The series does have great information but it is just hard to make yaml coding fun for most, IMO, thanks for completing the series. Merry Christmas!

Jeff, like the series for ideas and to see another approach. All the YAML is just scary. Everyone's home, automation, and UI design/experiences are going to be different. So, it's hard to do a series that will continuously draw views. But please finish it.

Hoping the HA folks will make 2024 the year of the UI/Dashboard and work on consistent view strategies, tile drap and drop, and make the whole new user dashboard experience a lot better. There have been little pieces of improvement for the last year or so. Just need to get a major push going. Experiences users don't need or want it, but it is critical to new users and to expand the HA base against the new upstarts - Homey, etc.

Given your dashboards are basically just one Vertical Stack card, with other cards nested inside, and you seem to use Chips instead of Badges, have you considered changing the tab view from standard to a Panel view? This still works similar, except it will make the card take up the entire screen rather than a card in the middle. Just a thought :)
