Hope they also rethink some of the ux after this. Some of the decisions, like hiding search inside “latest” tab were not great.

Absolutely!! Who came up with that idea. It should be a top level button not placed in ANY tab. And “latest”? That sounds like “featured apps that you might like if you are not looking for something specific”. Why would I go there if I “am looking for something specific”.

Absolutely mindboggling design…

I just found this:

However, the official latest list design was done back in the day by professional designers

Man, that original three tab layout is exactly what I want.

It is still better. And as far as I know, more secure.

Droidify is still better than F-Droid.

This is a much needed update. While I like the functionality of F-Droid, the UI is unappealing.

What’s so different between 1.22 and 1.23 though? I just updated my client to 1.23 because of this post and I see very little difference.

There is in-app changelog (URL link?), I am assuming this update is not related to the new design.

The heck is going on with the Material 3?
Borders are nearly invisible. We are evolving but backwards.

I know! Don’t get me started on the “adaptable” colour schemes that make any colour look beige… I was fine with the previous material design, TBH.

and to be fair, it looked way better than any implementation of material design 3 so far in any app

UI designers hate usability anymore. Is it text? A link? A button? Who knows? Tap and find out you just subscribed to Satan-of-the-month club.

TBF, I’d be happy to join the Satan Monthly Digest 🤘👹 But give it some f—ng contrast instead of all those wishy-washy pastels.

SMH, the screenshots shown in the blog post look exactly as my F-droid install (only light mode).
