Description

Problem

Currently, when clicking the "New Project" button, a new project is created with the default name "New Project". If the button is clicked multiple times, multiple projects are created with the same name, which creates confusion and makes it difficult to distinguish between projects.

Solution

Replace the current direct project creation with a modal dialog that allows users to input a custom project name.

Alternative

Auto-increment Project Names

Instead of a modal, automatically append a number to duplicate project names (e.g., "New Project", "New Project 2", "New Project 3"). This would be simpler to implement but gives users less control over naming.

Anything else?

Research direction

Start by locating the "New Project" button and the current project-creation flow. Review the existing project UI before choosing between the proposed naming approaches; done means users can provide a project name when creating a project and repeated creation no longer leaves projects indistinguishable by default name.
