Notes

Creates a simple homepage to help users get started.

• The Router redirects the Root URL ("/") to this Home component.
• The app's logo (header) now navigates to the homepage.
• Included sections so far:
  • App Logo
  • Login button (necessary for NDEx)
  • Short text explaining what CE does (should probably be improved!)
  • Start a New Network:
  • Empty Network
  • Import From: NDEx, Cy3, Excel
  • Sample Network

Very good. Just a few small points:

• It looks like there's a linting issue.
• The eye goes toward the button body when looking at the empty '+' button, so it's not immediately obvious that it creates a new empty network. Could there be text on this button like the others, like 'Empty Network'?
• Could the tagline describe what we currently provide (and the main use case) a bit more directly, e.g. 'Create publication-ready network figures for your papers with Cytoscape Explore'?
• The 'sample network' blue text has a misaligned baseline. Sometimes buttons can do this. If it's a button, could we use an <a> or something else instead (e.g. flex row)? It would be nice to incorporate the word 'demo' into this line so that a prospect would know that they can click there to see a demo (with a sample network).
