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”.

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