Okay I checked it myself. And it is... what I was afraid of, gnomification rather than "UI and UX improvement". You also removed the category select on home page.

I don't like this, I don't vibe with it. Though there are some parts that I like. I like how topics are nested on the wiki page. The github icon on the header and the back to top arrow.

That were my thoughts and opinion but I don't know where the previous design was bad at UI or UX. I followed the best practices for everything.

@ArqamQazi
a little better.
the category dropdown appears on desktop but not on mobile on homepage.

my suggestions:

• it would better if you could return the old corner radius (just my opinion)
• remove the custom dropdown, sorry i can't stand it and feels useless when the browser's own just works fine
• remove the arrows in wiki page, instead use a diagonal arrow pointing to upper right direction after the text. that looks better imo and gives the impression that pressing this will open another page

P.S. idk if its me but some places, the text feels too small, like at https://arqamqazi.github.io/Portable-Linux-Apps.github.io/en/index.html#install

I have changed the border radius to previous version, will see what I can do about the other two.
Thanks for the feedback.

also, @ArqamQazi fix #259 . i opened #261 for it but i guess it won't be needed if you do it

edit: maybe this has nothing to do with your changes and will work fine along them. or go ahead if you want to improve it's look

It will likely conflict.

okay. the main change is this:
https://github.com/Portable-Linux-Apps/Portable-Linux-Apps.github.io/pull/261/changes#diff-4698a0d6946cc7eab0ee49f1773e6bfa66a91c8c1ae37b2587b9dc9ebdf47247R37

and grouping the blob and raw buttons together and stacking them
you can add it your branch and i will close my pr. or ivan can merge my pr until you are working on this

The look seems to be more solid and fills the page better, I like it

Before	Now (in development)

Once fixed some issues (for example, Install buttons on lines, the github button to AM instead of this repo...) I think will be a great improvement.
