Description

Rather than dumping users onto their first collection’s page, it may be more helpful to land on some kind of dashboard or home screen.

That being said, if we were to add a dashboard page to Netlify CMS, what would it need to have in it so that you would find it useful and not something you’d simply skip over?

For the desktop, I'd imagine it may be a bit more complex. On mobile, we'd probably keep it simple. This is how I see it looking on mobile...

See it in action

Anyways I'd love to hear any thoughts regarding what you'd find useful whether it be analytics, list of entries, form entries, alerts, news updates, etc.
