# TODO
## NON-CODE
- [ ] Write the installation instructions
- [ ] Write the usage instructions
- [ ] Write the contributing guidelines
- [ ] Create a demo video
- [ ] Create some sample images
## CODE
- [ ] Developer mode: for development on non-pi devices (just solid black frames).
- [ ] Create a startup script for the raspberry pi which runs git pull and starts the server
- [ ] Display integration
- [ ] Major UI overhaul
- [ ] Let the user control ALL settings, not just exposure time and gain.
- [ ] ISO -> Gain
- [ ] Non-persistent preview, just use the mjpg stream thing
- [ ] For capture previews, capture both jpg and dng, stream to mjpg, save both dng (the actual data) and jpg (for the gallery)
- [ ] Create an index of captured files, allow the user to see them sequentially ("gallery" page?)
- [ ] Allow the user to transfer the captured files to a USB device instead of zipping and downloading
- [ ] Internal storage management: allow the user to delete captures from older sessions
- [ ] "Session" paradigm for separating data from different sessions
- [ ] Video capture support
