Oh neat, the newest 24.2 release is available on day one via !

UX pet peeve: I've often been bugged by multiple infobars on startup with new releases (for "Release Notes", "Get Involved" and "Donate" CTAs). That's https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131550

Personally, I'm OK with TDF trying to market on every new release, but I think some infobars ought to be combined and there should be a unified web landing page for engaging users to help with contributions (technical or monetary).

@nekohayo And why do you show a screenshot of the ancient version 6.4?

@libodesign That is what was attached in the open bug report so it was convenient. Nevermind that, I'll make do without a screenshot.

@nekohayo This thing amuses me every time 😄
Just a welcome screen like in Collabora Online that you can click away easily would probably do a better job (for usability as well as advertising).

@nekohayo This has every indication of an uncoordinated team. There doesn't appear to be any product management to coordinate these things (as you suggest) Or... they just don't care.

@scottjenson That app suite is ± design by committee (w/ surveys & "add options for XYZ"), not an opiniated product. The apps are reasonably capable (mostly), but a nightmare in terms of UX & sustainability.

I mean… it has 7 toolbar layouts variants. Seven!
With 7 icon themes (21 if you count variants) in addition to that.
Atop at least 3 different UI toolkits.
Atop at least 3 operating system platforms.

I file issues, but I don't get involved further for this reason.
