I think it might have to do with how much work is involved to implement a new feature.

I code interactive web pages daily for a living. That concept is not lost on me.

It also occurred to me this would be a great place for "bulletins." How many times has "reset and rescan" been given as an answer and solved a problem? So the notification could say "There's a new major update in the CCC, please remember to reset and re-scan your VSTs after updating." Or "The Sizzle Bus FX Chain is in the Anderton Collection Processors folder"...stuff like that.

Or buy Rapture Pro! Offer expires soon! 

Well, that would certainly take care of the forum posts asking how long a sale was going to last.

Wouldn't be useful as a Bulletin board for me in any case - because I would never start from the Sonar program icon. I want to go directly into the file I'm working on by clicking on the file icon. Completely convenient, and this totally bypasses the start page (which is a good thing for me).

Hi, here is what would be useful to me on the Start Page:
1) The last 4 Project Folders I have accessed.  Under each of these would be the last 2 or 3 Project Files (.cwp)
2) A section on the Start Page where I could create new projects which would include:
    a) A box for filling in the new Project Name (this could also automatically date stamp the folder name with the   date it was ceated if I wanted.  Also, maybe it could default to an automatic name, e.g. Project 04May2014-1)
    b) A list of the 4 most used Templates.  Templates could also include a long description which would be shown here.
3) Retain the "Show this at Startup" tick box.
 
On the lighter side, the page could include a positive message cycling through items such as "Hey [your name here], you look great today", Wassup [your name here], ....
 
Thanks again to CW for a great product.  So far you are well on track to giving me >$150 worth by the end of the year.

I would like an expanded new project area on the start page that let's me choose a sample rate to apply to my choice of templates, along with a song structure ala EZ Drummer that gives me hilighted regions for one-click, no-drag song section selection.
 
Of course there should be default values prefilled for all of the bazillion options that can be set by clicking "make all of the choices I just made the default(s) for future projects" checkbox.
 
Foil cutter and corkscrew optional  :)

A news feed with links to cool tips (see other thread) ... embed Easter Egg links to Craig's Cool Content to get people to scour the new items.
 
Add a magic button that when clicked, removes the sticky flag from all of the posts in these forums  :)

Following on from my earlier post, as well as the great ideas others have put forward, it is likely that Sonar would benefit from two types of Startup Pages, (1) a "Full Content Page" for those using a ~24 inch monitor and (2) a "Reduced Content Page" which would be useful for those using a laptop screen (e.g. when recording live).
 
Cheers,

Or maybe a link with instructions on how to completely remove Rapture Pro, and how to get a full refund.
I'm sure that would be helpful to a lot of people ;)

Or just make the one responsive, but in addition to the planned basics, give us a way to personalize it by adding our own chosen options to some extent, or at least a place to add local dir and web links etc.

Let me choose from all the menus, widgets and preferences what I want on my startup page.
