🎨 Dashboard Redesign

I've started to use Coolify over the past week, and I really love it! I've only encountered one recurring problem, the dashboard navigation is terrible. That's why I decided to mockup a possible direction you could take the dashboard.

⚠️ Current Dashboard Issues

• You need to navigate between 2-3 pages before actually arriving at the configuration for any given service.
• The dashboard barely displays any information, and barely serves a purpose apart from being a projects page.
• You can't take any actions on the dashboard. You need to navigate multiple pages before actually being able to take an action (start, stop, restart, etc.)

✅ Possible Solutions

• List all services/containers under a project (dropdown) and add actions for each service (start, stop, restart, etc.)
• Condense environments page into the dashboard page. Instead of having a dedicated page, allow the user to create new environments from the dashboard
• Attempt to remove the extra pages when you can condense a lot of information and basic settings in the dashboard

💬 Additional Ideas

• Adding server stats information to the dashboard as mentioned in Dashboard with Server Resources #2329 and Add monitoring feature #2288
• Search through projects as mentioned by Ibnu Rasikh on Discord
• Possibly use a structure similar to the resources tab in the server section.
• Navigate directly to a deployment's website from the dashboard

✨ Mockup

I created a quick mockup to see what a new dashboard could look like. This was done really quickly, but it is just so you can envision the difference it could make.

also currently projects only sorted alphabetically, i believe "sort by" feature will be very helpful.

could be interesting. A set of columns for the environments would also help. (look to octopus deploy dashboards for an example)

Yep, dashboard doesn’t give much info at the moment so something like this would be amazing. +1 for basic stats for servers too

I would love this. Currently, I have to click three times before I get to the instance screen. This will definitely help while still keeping the same depth.

I would love to contribute in some substancious QOL for managing this kind of things better / easier.. The thing is, are the Maintainers going to approve / point the PR at this direction? Even if the heavy lift work is lifted by our contributions? @baylorhenshaw

Would like to redesign and create some features to exnted how deployments works now:

Into something like this, featuring instant rollbacks, and better identification on whats happening
