Platform(s), such as mobile, website, API, other: website (I don’t use mobile, so not sure if it matters there) URLs (aka web addresses) of any pages, if relevant: the “community” tab on top of all iNat pages Description of need: The “Recent Projects” shortcuts under Community tab do not show any…

yeah that’s my alternate idea, but I’d still like to be able to pin to the top my most used projects so I don’t have to scroll through pages to find them :)

I don’t use projects much. But I have, carefully sorted folders of iNat URLs for what I use frequently. Which includes my garden project. For ‘recent projects’ I am often looking for - I know it’s there, but can’t remember how they named it. Scroll scroll scroll … found it!

I would also love to have this feature! I have upwards of 100 projects, and my most active projects are absolutely buried every way I can access my projects. I feel the ability to specify 5-10 “featured projects” that would make them show when I hover over the Manage my Projects button on the proje…

I want it too. Of over 20 projects I’m subscribed to or own, only 3-ish are useful day-to-day, let’s say. But visiting the sub-projects makes the whole drop-down list useless until I can get to the important projects the long way around.

Specced out an issue here: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/4189 It’s a bit different from the original request in that uses the “Common name lexicons” chooser in Account Settings as a template for choosing favorite projects, rather than designing something new for the Projects pag…

I would love this. I also have the issue of the “recent projects” dropdown displaying mostly past projects (bioblitzes that have “expired”)

I leave bioblitzes once they have expired. Gets them OFF my list.

I found the code that pulls the list of recent projects. It is in /app/models/user.rb lines 1585 to 1589. It looks like it pulls a list of projects you are part of them sorts them by the creator’s user ID in descending order, with ties broken by sorting them by last updated time in ascending order. …

Is this possible with a bioblitz that I’ve created? I’m afraid to test it!

Or ditch the current unhelpful list and go straight to projects tab.
Much better if we could each decide our wanted list.
