Top 8 Rust Camera Projects

I think if you've hit this problem and are looking for solutions, this article looks like a helpful read. There are lots of ideas there.
I wouldn't say this is a super common problem (though I have hit it). The opening example here is that logic outside `Parent` is maintaining its summary state based on its children. That's unusual; typically `Parent` itself would be responsible for that, and so you can inline the logic without having to expose the fields.
Sometimes inlining the logic gets impractical though if the logic is super long. In that case it can be helpful to split it into sub-structs so that you can easily call a method on a group of fields. I did that here, for example: <https://github.com/scottlamb/moonfire-nvr/blob/ff383147e4ff7...>
There have been language proposals to define "view types" which are basically groups of fields that are borrowed. <https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2021/11/05/vie...>
