Which part of the project does this feature apply to?

Frontend

What would you like?

On the “Open Board” screen, the UI currently displays a hand icon and text (“Open Board – Create a new one or select an existing one”), but there is no clickable action in the centre of the screen. This creates confusion for new users, as the hand icon suggests an interaction but does not perform any action.

Image

Why is this needed?

  • Improves first-time user experience
  • Reduces confusion and friction
  • Makes the primary action (Create Board) more discoverable

Other information
