Home doesn't detect new files

[dmadisetti]

Describe the bug

I think home is a great start for a splash page- I've been using it more.
But it doesn't detect new files. It looks like it polls running_notebooks (you could sneak the info in there), but also why not websockets for pubsub

Environment

markdown experimental branch

Code to reproduce

Create a new file in the directory home is running

[mscolnick]

I can add a refresh button above the notebooks. Searching can be expensive (depending on the directory) and websockets is probably overkill. Thoughts?

[dmadisetti]

I don't think WebSockets are totally overkill if there's potential for home interaction to expand. But yea, the engineering effort for notebook status alone is not worth it.

I think a refresh button is what colab and jupyter allow for in their sidebars

Toggling "Include Markdown" works as a workaround rn
