It feels completely different, yet very similar. I like it. Feels like the most modern app on my phone now.
Edit: I don’t like the floating action button search but that’s just my opinion. Maybe I just have to get used to it.
I like Droidify, also looks very modern.
Same. The UI seems very sensible n decently compact for me.
I think they’re trying to add support for index V2. It’ll be awesome when that gets implemented(as I use a 3G network).
Screenshots?

Oh it looks nice. Glad to see more options for F-Droid
Heh, I mean its more modern than the current F-Droid app and it is definitely and improvement, but it really looks like it was made by a back-end developer that used material 3. The spacing and sizing of items is all over the place and that makes it look kinda goofy
Can you say exactly where to improve it?
Not the person you replied to, but to my eye it feels unnecessarily complicated and confusing. The organization of info could be simpler, and the card that pulls up partially in front of the list of entries seems unnecessarily confusing and always feels like it defies my expectations of how I should be able to interact with it.
Droid-ify has almost all of the same functionality and info displayed, but is an infinitely simpler layout, and a lot easier for me to parse. I don’t have to spend time trying to interpret the ui, figure out what’s where, and understand what I’m looking at
Moving the sort and filter menu to the top header bar Moving the sideways tabs for app categories to the hamburger menu, that’s what the icon suggests for me. Remove the app version from the app list, it just adds noise All the buttons on the app page are primary actions, they all have the same importance. For example, the favourite button is the same size and style as the launch button, in this case it could be a simple icon button to give the importance to the launch button. Also I think there is generally too much padding around the elements and that makes it look cluttered/busy when there is not much going on
No, I hate the FAB search too. I hate FABs in general, but it doesn’t even make sense for a search action. Every time I open F-Droid, I reach for a search bar at the top like every other app and get confused about why it’s not showing up before I realize it’s a button hidden under my hovering right thumb.
As a ui nerd who has never had that experience with an app I use regularly, and who loves FABs as a ui convention: thats super interesting
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it’s always interesting to see how people experience things differently than you do, but I especially enjoy it with UI stuff
I liked the old one a lot more
I prefer the old design
