Make a Home Page focused on End Users

A real SmartSuite strength is its ease of use for the end user. However, the Home of SmartSuite feels very Builder-focused.
Like Airtable, this Home is focused on features, Webinars, and units of organization (Solutions). Those reflect how the
builder
of a SmartSuite account might think about work.However, it feels like a missed opportunity to double-down on the ease of use for the end user. (Because, unlike Airtable, the average end user doesn't need to know as much as the builder...which is a huge selling point.)
Suggestions:
#1 Rework the above-the-fold portion of the Home Page to feel more end user focused by adding:
- My Work (so I don't have to click on the Check to see it) -- like Todoist and ClickUp
- Customizable widgets such as a "My Calendar" or "Starred" or "Notifications" or any of the existing widgets available in Dashboards -- like Asana
#2 Move the existing Home Contents (Solutions & Learning Resources) down on the page so they're available in case folks don't want to customize Home.

I do agree with this, another idea is to be able to add sections in the home page, so we can sort solutions by category, eg: Marketing, Development, HR...

Layla at ProcessDriven I would like to schedule a live discussion about this request and share the path we have been thinking about. We do want to allow individual users to have the ability to customize their Homepage to feel more like a personal dashboard.
We also added the Resources section on the left at the request of current customers that wanted to make it easier for new users to get up to speed on how to use SmartSuite. I am interested to hear your thoughts on other ways we may be able to do.

Jon Darbyshire: Whoops! Delayed in seeing this but yes! I'd love to see what form this can take.
