My highest priority idea is to swap the current “Play” page and Home page features. Active games list (for correspondence players) moved under “Play”, and finding a new match/lobby moved to Home and/or the top of “Play” (depending on user preference), like lichess.
This is more valuable in my opinion than even a community calendar. I’m 99% convinced (by myself) that it would be better if not for change aversion. I acknowledge it would require a moderate re-design of the current Play page’s UI. But it could be worth it. For example, another user’s opinion:
We can conduct a poll to verify whether enough people want a re-design, but it would be hard to ask people to compare the status quo to a hypothetical UI, and I trust my designer’s instinct.
Another supporting argument I have is that Play > Play in the main menu feels redundant. There’s potential to change that to “Active Games”, “My Games”, or something more clear.
