From dadda8765d2e90cf204fe7abcb76b8d742f370ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: type-two Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 14:46:12 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Easy Mode: big-control page for non-technical users MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit easy.html: giant start/stop, plain-word sliders (how fast / how big / how loud), friendly sound names (Ocean/Beep/Click/Knock), big color dots, duration chips, live preview strip of the patient view, same safety notice. Auto-connects to the relay when served over http with a persistent random room id — patient link is one big copy button, no Detect IP step. Advanced panel untouched, linked both ways; server opens easy.html first.
