Decidim Redesign

First of all, thank you for opening this debate!

Adding my top 3 of what was not already mentioned above:

1. Quite often on Decidim, elements appear on cards or index pages even when a feature is not activated:
- types, scopes and areas selectors in /processes and /assemblies;
- endorse/comment buttons on proposal cards when there are no endorsement or comment activated for this component;
- filters in the search for all types of contents on Decidim even when many of them are not used at all (they appear in grey, but still confuse people);

2. We know Decidim is built for complex multi-spaces processes, so it lacks simplicity when one only needs to open a single process. The homepage or the process page could be hidden in such cases to limit the number of unecessary clicks, or we should be able to link the homepage card to a component and not always the process presentation.

3. Posting a first proposal takes 10 actions for a beginner who has no prior account, which is probably why Decidim platforms reach lower participation levels than competitors.
- Sign up could be done in a modal opening on every page to avoid having users redirected when they found the place where they want to contribute (see for example the main French proprietary software https://fabriquecitoyenne.rennes.fr/)
- The fourth step to "publish your idea" is redundant and confuses many users who consider their idea is already published.

Decidim remains quite awesome of course, but a lot can be done to make it better and simpler to use!
