UX features for 3.24

[Allan Day <aday gnome org>]

Hi everyone!

Below is a list of UX features that would be great to have from a design point of view. I thought I'd share it, in case it helps with 3.24 planning. It's not a complete list and I think that some of them are already being worked on.

It would be really great to have a bunch of these ready for the next release!
