Creator tooling sprawls until nobody can say what is load-bearing. A checklist keeps the stack small enough to restart under pressure.
Stable capture of events, a way to notify a human, and an export. Everything else is optional until those three work on a bad Wi-Fi day.
Charts, multi-room, webhooks, mobile companion, widgets. Add one at a time and keep it for two weeks before adding another.
Shared logins in a chat history are an incident waiting to happen. Use a password manager and revoke access when people leave the roster.

Once a month, delete a tool nobody opened. Tool counts only go up unless you schedule subtraction.
