The Problem:
Currently, if a user get a non-existing page, they get a message saying "Report a bug or issue" in the footer, which isn't welcoming for non-developer users and is hard to notice. Instead, we should have something that says "Please feel free to Send Us Feedback!" when a user is first accessing the dashboard. We can have this show up in the banner, in here!
We want to welcome people to give feedback!
How to Solve?
Add a message to the banner on the landing page for new users. You can do that by adding to the text here to include "PublicLab is a platform is built by people collaboratively and that is always improving. We welcome any Feedback you have!". You can even add a button that links to the issues portion of this repo
Here's the code for an existing buttons:
https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/dd18e979e619005c28254fd129852602e0279dd7/app/views/dashboard/dashboard.html.erb#L11
You can copy-paste it to a line below that, and change the link to this --> https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/new
If you have any issues, please feel free to reach out in the comments below!

@dinaelhanan Great! Having the banner (as suggested #3631 ) on the landing page will make it clear to new people at the first place I believe...what do you think?

Hey @dinaelhanan @jywarren @publiclab/mentors , I have an another idea. We can break this issue down into two. One for the message on the banner(this one) and other for making a new button to redirect to issues page of the repo.

Hi, I've looked at this and I think we now have a better error reporting page when things go wrong! See this screenshot for non-existent or error pages like https://publiclab.org/nothing/asdfas
So I'm going to close this one, but thank you!!!!!
But I've opened a new issue for Nirvikalpa108 here: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/3480
