   I notice that

       Syncthing-For
       k
   

   is one of the first pieces of text in the first screenshot. With the k on its own line like that. Not usually something I’d comment on, but if you’re showing off a redesign…

      That app itself also has some of the most revolting UI I've seen in a modern Android app (Vertical gradient filled buttons with thick gray strokes surrounded by not-quite-Material UI widgets, in a nonsensical custom control they had to go out of their way to make rather than just use a dropdown). Android developers really just don't care.

         Or putting `Installed apps` under `Settings`. Still not fixed after 15 years.

            System app list is doing almost anything you need for installed apps, I don't think I needed the list in fdroid once in my life.

               Surely useful if only to see the list of apps you can trust.

                  Ok, that might be useful if you have more than one app store.

                  Btw. it drives me mad that Android happily allows app to change name after installation, not even giving a warning.

            Hmm? what do you mean? installed apps are now available in "My Apps", 3rd button in the navigation bar after the update.

            Are you talking about pre-2.0 versions?

            Wait till you see how many taps it takes to access the equivalent list on the Play Store...
