I don't believe this is the right direction for the home page. A bare menu with all the possibilities laid out like this doesn't really address what I think is our core navigational problem, which is that the subsystems in Viroverse don't have approachable start pages. What I think is called for is for each of the top-level headings you have on this homepage to become a sub-homepage of its own, with context added on those pages leading the user towards their destination/helping them discover additional functions. For example, the Browse start page could have options like:
The Input start could link into the beginning of the PCR workflow and the importer, etc. Imagine each of these things (Browse, Input, Freezers, Admin) as the link target of a revamped top-level nav, with really easy-to-distinguish next-clicks on each of them, with a shared design. Does that make sense? |

That does and is what I was going to, I' djust split it out into separate issues for each of those sub-pages. The current most-things-and-the-kitchen-sink stuff for the top-level page was just because otherwise there'd have not been anything on the page beyond a link to "my projects." |

I’d say keep the top level homepage unmodified for the time being and revisit after the other aspects of this are in place.

Make the start page show the more common operations that can be taken by the currently-logged-in user; remove cohorts from the old default "projects and cohorts" view and create a new "my projects" view
Fixes #85 and lays the groundwork for the rest of the "rework global navigation" project (originally opened as #82)
