Describe the feature you'd like

Hey,

I desire the ability to create a fully customizable start landing page, rather than the existing start page that displays either all shelves/books or an overview of recently used books.

A standard page where I, as the administrator, can provide pertinent information regarding the purpose of this Bookstack instance and the location of various resources.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

It would make it easier for new users to a bookstack instance to learn what the instance is about and gives the admin the possibility to inform their users, put MOTD and stuff like that.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

You could probably create a hidden site with the content and then set that as custom startpage but i would really like a dedicated startpage.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

3 months to 1 year

Additional context

No response
