Description

/settings/panel/home

If I don't know what Diviner is, for example, this page is not as useful as it could be. I would like it to say "Documentation" near that name as on /applications

I'm just setting up Phabricator and had to have two tabs open - switching back and forth so I can hover on the menu to find out what the app was actually for then determine if I wanted to hide on the home page.

This seems fairly reasonable in concept, but makes this already ugly/busy interface even busier in practice:

I'm not sure this treatment, at least, is an improvement.

I would use a lighter grey for the subtitles and maybe (or maybe not) a smaller font for the default value text.

Im OK with this being busier though, since it's seldom hit and could use being well defined.
