It says 'Open ports: (None)' for all devices on my network, despite there being open ports on many of them (MacOS Tahoe 26.2 / installed via go)

It doesn't start port scanning by default, maybe this is a feature I can build in the future. When you are on the `detail` view of a device, you can press `p` and that will open a pop-up to perform the port scan. Also the list of ports that will be scanned is a default list of common ports, and can be configured via the configuration yaml.

In that case maybe print something different for unscanned hosts than „Open ports: None“?

Nice tool!
