Description

Every time we create a new project the project name is Page Title. This gets a bit unruly when trying to look back through old projects if you forget to rename them. This requires you, in most cases, to either rely on the timestamp to approximate when the last time you update the project or to open the project to see its contents. This is not pressing but I do think a lot of time is wasted trying to find the desired project and discourages folks from looking back on past work.

This can be addressed via structuring curriculum in such a way to provide unique starter code with explicit and descriptive naming. However, I do think there are times where students will create new projects outside the scope of curriculum and would benefit from a system which provides a more unique naming to projects and facilitates navigating the project drop down.

Two proposals-

  1. Update the page title when new project is created. Along the lines of Page Title 1 or maybe even something more unique?

  2. Prompt the user to change the title of the project after a certain amount of progress is made.

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating project creation and project-list title handling, then resolve whether the intended behavior is automatic unique naming or a progress-based rename prompt; done means newly created projects are easier to distinguish in the project dropdown.
