How can we help users who use the app for the first time or care about their main use cases to find slow traces? This came up during Sean's feedback.

This issue focuses on exploring design for a landing page/homepage. Related to #143 where the general broad feedback from interviews was "Where do I see traces?" when the app had 2 pages.

I love the idea of a summary or entry point kind of page, perhaps where we provide bookmarks like the Explore Metrics App or allow users to just use bottled queries that present a potential flow they would have otherwise taken.

What I don't want is a page that is almost a carbon copy of the main page which presents more confusion for the user! Something that is easier to digest would be a nice compromise.

Would love to work on this with you Nadine.

Working on a flow diagram to build shared understanding about how users ideally move.
