Very cool idea. I have implemented such "dumbing down" manually a couple of times - can confirm the pain is real.

Have to admit that the difference between the "before" and "after" UI in the video doesn't feel big enough. Did you consider removing also the "Projects" list on the left? Or reducing it?

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, there's a tradeoff between making it simple and hiding too much. The counterargument is always "what if the user is searching for a specific feature, can't find it, then leaves?". So this needs to be considered. Here's another example: https://giacos.notion.site/Feature-richness-vs-Simplicity-8c...

But good point, we might change that.

i can only see the screenshot for "Example 1"
check again, should work now
