That's most interesting. Can you describe one of your own? How do you lay
out the, for want of a better word, tree? Do you begin with an equivalent of
the switchboard, or start with the most likely place to visit (such as
"Things to Attend To Today", whatever that might entail?

I'm seriously curious about how you and others on this list open the given
app. I once presented an opening screen that paid attention to projects
marked "Incomplete", and my user objected vociferously, saying "I don't want
anyone to see what jobs I haven't completed!" An interesting take, which I
absorbed, and hence tailored the opening form to show clients and jobs and
let her decide.

The switchboard is admittedly an easy way to provide a front end, but is
also so generic as to be somewhat pointless, in its generality. Who has a
better idea (and portable from app to app)?
