End point switcher in menu/GUI + clickable favourites

[SaturnusDJ]

Currently to switch end point, you will need to 1) click on home, 2) click on the end point, 3) click on the desired page to view. 3 clicks while 1 click is desired and possible.

Under the home section of the menu there is space to list end points. Some might have a giant amount, thus there should only be favourites in the immediate menu.

For a list of all end points, a 'click to open a scrollable list with quick search box on top' would be more desired.

We moved away from a dropdown to the home view because of the introduction of new details associated to each endpoint in the home view.

This view is still useful when you're managing a lof of endpoints (100+) and need to leverage group/tags to search and have a quick glance at each endpoint via snapshot information.

Although I agree, the UX for switching environments (endpoints) could be reworked to provide something available in any page of the app (maybe a search/select input in the top section where the user login/logout is located).

Regarding favorites, that could be an enhancement to the Home view allowing you to "star" endpoints and filter by favorites.

Any UX/UI proposal/mockups welcome for this one.

endpoint suggest search like the project search in github would be really useful. Endpoint switching is really annoying right now.

The suggest search could be enriched in a later step with container, network or other resource informations

Docker Portainer Swarm mode. Why not use that same drop down, and build from there?
