Templates are still lost #7581

For me the main issue of #7565 is not fixed - the whole block is still lost on the page and is perceived as part of the header, hence not important to pay attention to. The blue section with a big picture and an obvious button does attract attention. How about making template selection a part of that section? It even has a ready invitation on the bottom, let's just put it on a single line and end it with a colon, then there is no need in "Templates:" image I am also not sure what's the purpose of "Your CoCalc Projects..." button there - how is it related to compute servers???

While I still think that the above would be a nice change, I've realized that one of my main issues maybe the fact that clicking on an item in the store results in a feature page without a clear way to buy that item. Perhaps the store should link to a different page - one with filters at the top and the rest - the list of all templates, scrollable using the regular scrollbar of the browser window. There can be links to the feature page and the docs, but no need to explain what compute servers are.

Compute servers aren't something you buy in the store, so maybe

should just be removed?

If you want to buy compute servers in a store in the nextjs app, then sure that would be nice, but that's not getting implemented anytime soon, due to lack of resources.
