Home page course accessibility improvements #162

With more "courses" joining every week and multiple queues per course, the front page is getting crowded.

I suggest either a search bar that can search all queues (as characters are typed in, while also displaying which course a queue belongs to), or a home page with only course names, in perhaps a "compact view", which on being clicked, displays the queues for that course only.

I really think a search feature is helpful (especially for mobile devices), as once the queues overflow one screen on a device, it becomes inconvenient to keep scrolling.

Perhaps comfortable density, can become compact density (without such large margins).

Some related Ideas that may be a stop-gap measure:

  1. Order the queues by "recently viewed", to make sure the queues you visit recently are top on the list

  2. Allow users to "star" a queue, which is sorted to the top of the list
