I think it'd be cool to 'favorite' specific repos and have those load at the top of the repo dropdown. Favorited repos could be persisted, making load times seem faster for end-users.

Even without explicitly favoriting them, it’d be great if the browser could keep the most recently opened repo (or several) in localstorage and automatically persist it while the other repos were loading

@millions-afternoon-47582 Are you aware of any existing tickets for saving the most recent repo selected? If so, we may want to add the persisting of previously selected repos to localstorage. If not, I will create one.

Yes, we already have both a design and a corresponding ticket for this. (ALL-2979 [Enhancement] Remember recent Repos I've used) thankyou

Thanks. I will make sure this ticket is also on GitHub so we can track it and work on it.
