Multiple selections stay highlighted #18

If I click on the projects, design idea, or communities page, and then click back on the explore page, both the explore and prior pages nav elements are highlighted.

This is obviously not intuitive since people keep bringing it up. The explore view is actually an overlay not a page, so that you can access it from anywhere without losing whatever context you were in. But as a full page UI that is not an obvious distinction. If it's always going to take up the whole page we might as well make it a page (upcoming URL/state changes will make it easier to navigate back and forth and/or link to specific content, so that's irrelevant) or maybe it could be an expandable view that pops up in a corner when you select an observation from another page.

tangentially related to #25

Fixed - it is no longer an overlay but its own page.
