Move "Recently Installed Updates" section to the top. #94

Closed dmitshur closed 5 years ago

dmitshur commented 5 years ago

This change implements a minor presentation redesign, where the "Recently Installed Updates" section is moved at the top, above the "Updates Available" section. Previously it was at the bottom.

The motivation to do this is to improve the user experience when installing updates from top to bottom. This way, the recently updated package moves up to the section above, which is a much smaller jump than moving it all the way to the bottom of the page.

Clean up some of the code in the process.

Regenerate assets.

Fixes #63. /cc @mvdan

I've evaluated this approach extensively in my local testing, and did not find it to be an overall improvement to the user experience. I didn't get used to it, even after many weeks. It kept feeling awkward and unfriendly to have the "Recently Updated" section above the "Available Updates".

I can extract the useful implementation cleanups from this change, but not the large UI change. Closing.
