As a user, I want to create a topic while viewing the `/categories` listing page so I can start writing without having to go back to the latest topics page. Right now, I can only “Create Category” (or maybe not even this since I’m actually logged in as an admin).

IMHO the “Create Topic” button should be visible both on `/latest` and on `/categories`.
