Description

I hope this will be resolved by some of the other open issues (it may have already been fixed!) but I just wanted to make a quick note

When you're in a sandbox and want to back to main, it does feel weird to have to go into the Sandbox UI.

It's totally correct to include the main project in the Sandbox listing. It's just awkward that there isn't another way to navigate "home"

The answer basically is to add a Sandboxes widget of some kind to the main screen, and give that a shortcut link.
