As a user,
I want the start experience to present clear and separate flows for finding people, discovering communities, and creating my own community,
so that I can easily understand what actions are available without feeling overwhelmed or confused.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The application start view is redesigned into a simplified dashboard experience

  • The start view no longer contains large combined lists of servers and users

  • The start view contains clear primary action sections/cards for:

    • Find People (Purple)
    • Find Communities (Blue)
    • Create Community (Green)

  • Each primary action navigates to its own dedicated page/view:

    • /people
    • /communities
    • /create-community

  • Sidebar navigation is simplified and does not contain redundant “Home” functionality

  • The dashboard/start view acts as the primary landing experience

Start View Behavior

  • The start view displays:

    • Search input
    • Quick actions
    • Suggested or recent content
    • Onboarding-friendly empty states

  • Search functionality supports:

    • People
    • Communities
    • Invites

  • Search results are grouped into categorized sections

Dedicated Find People Page

  • The Find People page contains:

    • Search users
    • Suggested users
    • Mutual/community-based discovery

  • “People You Might Know” is initially empty for new users

  • Empty state behavior for new users:

    • Friendly onboarding message is displayed
    • Guidance explains that users will appear after joining or browsing communities

  • Example empty state messaging:

    • “Join communities to discover people with shared interests”

  • Suggested users begin populating only after:

    • User joins communities
    • User browses communities
    • Shared memberships or interactions exist

  • User discovery is based on:

    • Shared community membership
    • Recently interacted communities
    • Existing social graph data

Dedicated Find Communities Page

  • The Find Communities page contains:

    • Community search
    • Featured communities
    • Trending/recommended communities
    • Recently active communities

  • “Recently Active Communities” is hidden or replaced with onboarding content for new users with no browsing history

  • Empty state behavior for new users:

    • Display featured/trending communities instead
    • Explain how activity and recommendations will appear over time

  • Example onboarding message:

    • “Explore communities to personalize your recommendations”

Dedicated Create Community Page

  • The Create Community page contains:

    • Create from scratch option
    • Community templates/categories
    • Simple onboarding flow

  • Advanced configuration options are hidden initially

  • Community creation flow prioritizes simplicity for non-technical users

  • Technical terminology is minimized where possible

UX / UI Requirements

  • Navigation hierarchy is simplified to reduce cognitive load

  • Duplicate navigation paths are removed

  • Dashboard focuses on tasks rather than administration

  • Cards/buttons use descriptive labels and supporting text

  • Interface prioritizes progressive disclosure:

    • Advanced settings are hidden until needed

  • Empty states are visually polished and informative

  • UI remains consistent with existing dark theme and Tailwind styling

  • Layout supports desktop-first experience while remaining responsive

Definition of Done

  • Start/dashboard view is redesigned and implemented

  • Dedicated pages for:

    • Find People
    • Find Communities
    • Create Community

    are fully functional

  • Redundant navigation items are removed

  • Empty states for new users are implemented

  • User recommendations populate dynamically after community interaction

  • Community recommendations work with and without user history

  • Search supports people, communities, and invites

  • UX is validated for non-technical users

  • Layout and components are implemented consistently using Tailwind CSS

  • Functionality is tested for both new and returning users
