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.

Nice, switched immediately
Yeah, this seems great.
i just switched off droidify because I learmed it uses an older method of updating your repos and doesnt support app archival. I'll probably go back when they support those though
Man I've been using Droidify for a long time π
It is still better. And as far as I know, more secure.
What is?
Droidify is still better than F-Droid.
Oh, good to know. I just use it because it looks like it wasn't made in 2002 π
This is a much needed update. While I like the functionality of F-Droid, the UI is unappealing.
Agreed, this is great news!
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.
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 π€πΉ But give it some fβng contrast instead of all those wishy-washy pastels.
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.
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
SMH, the screenshots shown in the blog post look exactly as my F-droid install (only light mode).
I usually use NeoStore, but I dont love it either so I guess I will give f-droid a try again.
Nice update
