I like the expanding room cards. Can you share how you're accomplishing that?
They are conditional cards that whose condition is activated by pressing the room name. Unfortunately the only way I have found to pass a condition is to use an input boolean helper, which means that when one person opens a card, it opens for all users. Not a huge deal but annoying; I've asked for alternatives on the HA forum but I received no satisfying answer, the best solution would probably be to create a custom card.
You could check out expander card. I use it for a weather section on my dashboard.

Editing the card is really buggy for me and I'm not sure the project is still open, given the note at the bottom about the issue tracker... but after it's configured, the card has been very solid.
Thank you
If you do end up trying it, let me know if you run into the issue of the UI constantly "refreshing" while editing and ruining your changes. I'm not sure how widespread the issue is.
