Sidebar overflows and hides projects

Added a low priority label on this, but if anyone seeing this wants to tackle it feel free 🙂

Good catch 👍 I think I also prefer the 'show more' option with a modal. A modal would provide more real estate should we want to display anything else alongside the project icon... such as the project name, and maybe type (CRA or Gatsby).

Yeah, I like the idea of a "show more" button that opens a modal with a list. Could also live in the application menu (Projects -> recent -> (list of the 5-10 most recent and a "Show all" option that opens the modal).

Agree that this is not super-top-priority since very few users will hit the current limit, but definitely something worth fixing as there's no easy workaround if you do hit it.

With the addition of the custom scrollbar this should be fixed.

Are we still interested in having the show more button to launch a modal with all projects? To me it's unnecessary now there's a scrollbar.

@melanieseltzer The show more was an idea for an easier implementation. You are right with the scrollbar that is not needed.

I like the idea of having a list of recently created/used projects but that is a new issue. I'm not sure how this could be added to the UI, in the application menu we could add a list of the 5-10 recently used projects - similar to recent projects in VS code.

Fixed with PR #375.
