The homepage is long overdue for an update!

I've decided to reorder my todo list, and make it a priority for the next update(s) to improve the homepage dashboard so it is more useful as well as a less confusing experience for new users.

Last week I spent time mostly in Figma. It was productive and although the new design is relatively simple, I feel like the major elements are in place, and I'm eager to start implementing!

It's really hard for me to work on just "wireframes" (ie. just boxes and lines), so the prototype has colour and is relatively close to what I am going for. But also please keep in mind it is not finished -- it's a bit bland visually, and there is plenty of room to iterate in following updates.

Please check out the New homepage dashboard prototype discussion.

In this thread I go more in depth about what we are trying to solve, and how the new design would improve the user experience.

Now is a great time if you'd like to be able to give your input, and let me know what you think. Have I covered most user's needs with this new dashboard? Did you imagine something else? Any input is welcome and I may tweak the implementation accordingly.
