Tell us your idea.

This is a great app with good stability but the UI is really lacking, especially the home screen with the tabs at the to and settings screen could use some bit of user experience improvement. I have started working on improving them and the PR will be available soon. I just wanted to put it here first so that maintainers would know.

This screenshot shows my first improvements but more to com. Please let me know if I'm going in the right direction.

Cheers ~ Matero

Thanks for your interest in improving the app! We’re almost done migrating all Fragments to Compose, with only SettingsFragment and parts of ContactsFragment (ActionMenu) and MessagesFragment (ActionMenu and a few components) left.

We'll likely need to finish migrating MessagesFragment and ContactsFragment before we can replace the ViewPager. How do you plan to integrate your changes with the existing Compose navigation?

[materoy]

Well then if we are taking the bottom up uproach, I can work on the SettingsFragment and migrate it to compose first in the mean time, unless someone else is working on it

[andrekir]

Sounds good! The "Report Bug" button will be removed, so feel free to take it out during the refactor.

Let me know if you have any questions.

My thumbs thank you for wanting to move the tabs to the bottom.
