Suggestion for threads / header context: When I click on the "Explore/Threads" link, I can see the threads, but there is a "Create Page" button at the top right of the header. What about changing that to "Create Thread?" That way the context of the header follows your navigation. I didn't know to go to my profile page to start a new thread. I realize I'm still new to the site and getting used to it, so I don't want to break the natural flow if it is already there.
That's another thought. I think the trend lately is to post from the top right corner of the navigation. Maybe I should add a feather icon with a dropdown to post either a thread or a page. As for projects, that section is deprecated. Pages are replacing them and I've only kept that there because I haven't written a migration script yet. This site got far too bloated over the years, so I'm in the purging phase.
That's a good idea and I mainly added that button as an experiment just a few weeks ago. I was kinda going for the Medium experience with the new page button in the top right corner. Now I'm considering putting the ads in that area as I'm not a huge fan of having them in the right margin.
