It's overwhelming to look at the project selection.
long paths that are hard to read
paths have duplicate information to project name e.g. website/website.inlang is twice "ah this is the website project"
Proposal
Focus the project selection around project names by giving the path less importance by:
Only display the project name in the dropdown selector
Put the main focus in the dropdown selector on the project names, not paths
Remove {name}.inlang files from the path because every path ends with .inlang and {name} is shown at the beginning. There is no additional value in showing it.
Additional information
this nudges users to name their projects [to avoid a project, project, project list]. imo this is good
the proposal aligns with how we use web apps, see the figma screenshot
Tasks
[ ] (1) only show project name in dropdown selector
[ ] (2) main focus on project name instead of path in dropdown menu
[ ] (3) directory path doesn't show {name}.inlang
[ ] directory path shows dots (../*) to indicate that the path is shortened (see FINK-44)
