   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…

      Honestly I'd take that over the hostile vomit that is the google playstore. That thing is an offence to my senses...so many colors and animations trying to grab my attention.

         Outside of that, they keep making the experience worse. It takes six nonintuitive clicks to check for app updates.

            Long tap Play Store -> My apps -> Updates.

            I also noticed that Google gets really offended if you turn off auto updates, and nags you hard to turn it back on.

               That saves 1 click(and thanks for that).

               It'll show you updates you haven't done since whatever time period I haven't figured out, but to actually check, from there you have to click 'Manage', then 'Updates available', then 'Check for updates.'

               Typically, I have nothing waiting for me in updates, and have to do the above to expose 8 or so apps with updates available.
