 ## Multiple User Profiles
 If you have different roles on board: captain, skipper, tactician, navigator, engineer—or simply different people with different needs, each can tailor KIP as they wish. The use of profiles also allows you to tie specific configuration arrangements to use cases or device form factors.

 In short: use KIP to see & act on live sailing information; use the complementary tools to store it long‑term, analyze it deeply, automate decisions, or build advanced integrations.
 
-## Project Scope
-What KIP IS about:
-- Real‑time presentation of vessel & environment data (navigation, performance, systems) pulled from Signal K.
-- Fast, legible, touchscreen‑friendly dashboards for underway decision making.
-- Configurable widgets (gauges, charts, timers, controls) tuned for sailing operations.
-
-What KIP deliberately IS NOT trying to become:
-- A full data lake / long‑term time‑series historian.
-- A general purpose automation / rules / orchestration engine.
-- A universal external web‑app embedding or mash‑up framework.
-- A low‑code integration hub for arbitrarily wiring protocols and services.
-
-Those domains already have excellent, specialized open‑source tools. Instead of re‑implementing them, KIP plays nicely alongside them within a Signal K based onboard stack.
-
-**Processing & Extensions**
-- **Signal K Plugins** – Domain‑specific enrichment (polars, performance calculations, derived environmental data, routing aids) published directly into the Signal K data model that KIP can then display.
-
-**Why this separation matters**
-Keeping KIP focused preserves responsiveness (lower CPU / memory), reduces UI clutter, and accelerates iteration on core sailing UX. Heavy analytics, complex workflow logic, and broad third‑party embedding stay where they are strongest—outside—but still feed KIP through the common Signal K data fabric.
