I was so excited to see this headline specifically because I hoped they would be doing a UI overhaul. Unfortunately, that just seems to not be the case or even on the horizon. I'd definitely consider dedicating time with it, but I've heard nothing but bad things about trying to work with the maintainers of the code.
- Touche 12y agoCalibre makes it dead simple to manage a library of ebooks and allows you to do just about anything that can be done with them. That's the definition of a good UI. Whether it follows modern design trends is irrelevant. A UI overhaul would be a terrible idea.
- jychang 12y agoI disagree. The UI is extremely messy, and far from streamlined. I couldn't figure out how to do basic management tasks at first.
- zo1 12y agoThose are very undefined and user-specific complaints you have. And I've seen nothing in your post that justifies a full UI rewrite. Perhaps some changes, to cater for new/novice/confused users, but a UI rewrite is just a ridiculous thing to request.
- dredmorbius 12y agoI agree with you that the calibre UI could use help. *Being specific on where exactly it's deficient would be useful. "It's clunky" really isn't actionable criticism. My own comments are sparse largely as I've found other elements (mostly the readers) so abysmal that I make little use of Calibre.
