The ‘New Project’ button on the homepage was replaced with the ‘Create Your Dream App’ section, which lists three starter apps that you can remix. All the new project button did was remix one of those apps - same number of clicks as before.
We’ll be making some changes to how we present this shortly though, so it’ll become somewhere between the two solutions - having a new project type drop-down but with more explanation of what the differences are between the projects so that it’s easier to understand for new users.
