Add a credits page to the dashboard showing the project authors and front-facing libraries used on the website, use /dashboard/edit for both the edit-list and edit-item pages, organize the dashboard styles a bit better, use relative paths instead of the url() function to render the dashboard URLs, add active nav link functionality to links other than the main dashboard pages, pull the nav blade out of the sections folder now that it's the only section, and keep the traditional template in sync
