Discussion: Actions from in-app survey on GitLab homepage

What is this issue about

Discuss ideas and solution for next steps from insights of in-app survey gitlab-com/Product#1476 (closed)

Proposal

Gather feedback and ideas and once there is some action on the ideas by creating separate issues we can close this issue.

Ideas and concepts to be discussed

Star a project in GitLab to show up in homepage

We already have the ability to star a project, perhaps we could move the starred projects as the first tab to start pushing to see if people use "star" as a bookmark concept.

Display the last commit of a project

There might a performance limit to get the latest commit for every project but maybe we could limit this functionality to the "starred projects" list or have a click to reveal the latest commit information.

Create a new page that introduces a simple dashboard for a project

This could be done in the current Project homepage or maybe as a new page in Project Overview

Create a new widget on Project Overview that would reveal key information that people commonly try to see in for a project
