   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.

         its not an app you open much. I'd prefer them to spend time on the actual functionality

            Good design is part of the functionality.

                  code is for people who can't design

                  1. landdate · 1790398391 · focus · HN ↗

                     yes i would agree. nothing wrong with either one of those things, but if we are talking about open source you can't be mad the coder sucks at designing.
