Improve organization homepage UX for power users

[ccerv1]

When I go to an org homepage (e.g., https://www.oso.xyz/oso or https://www.oso.xyz/optimism), it's almost always because I want to quickly find and open a specific notebook. Today's UX makes this harder than it should be.

I want to go from Notebook to Home, and I still look for something here:

This is what I currently see when I get to the home …

And finally when I'm just in the "Jump Back In" section, I can't scroll beyond 2-3 rows.

Pain Points

• Onboarding UI when already “onboarded”
  • "Getting Started" and "New Features" are distracting for power users / mature orgs
• Hard to browse notebook previews
  • “Jump Back In” only shows 2–3 rows; not scrollable enough (I believe this is a bug currently)
• Notebook previews are nice, but browsing/searching matters more
• Missing core productivity controls
  • Cannot sort by name, last updated, or created date
  • No filters or tags support yet
• Visibility ambiguity
  • No clear indicator showing which notebooks are public vs private
• Navigation friction
  • Breadcrumb exists, but I instinctively look to the sidebar for “Home”
  • “Notebooks” nav item doesn’t take me to a full notebooks view
  • Org name text doesn't link to org home (only the caret expands)

Desired UX

• Skip onboarding UI for orgs with real activity (e.g., >5 notebooks)
• Ability to view all notebooks in one click from sidebar
• Scrollable notebook list with table-like sorting (name, updated, created)
• Visual distinction for public vs private content
• Org name and/or “Notebooks” in sidebar also act as home links

---

Proposed Actions

• [ ] Hide or collapse Getting Started for orgs past onboarding threshold
• [ ] Make “Jump Back In” a carousel at the top and the full grid/table below (like Google Sheets)
• [ ] Add sort controls (name, last updated, created at)
• [ ] Add visibility icon/badge (public vs private)
• [ ] Make org name and/or “Notebooks” sidebar item link to notebooks home
