It’s been over a month since the last beta build. No blog posts either. Things just seem to have stalled… But they actually haven’t, there’s commits happening in the repo. What’s going on?

    I don’t think Thunderbird managed right. Instead of fixing bugs and making the app easier to use, they just change the look and make it look like a big thing.

    Please don’t judge me. I respect what they have done, but I have to tell the truth.

      In the past few months, they’re rewritten much of the underlying code, converting much from Java to Kotlin. They’ve streamlined a bunch of options, they’ve redesigned a bunch of the UI to make it more modern looking. How is that not making it easier to use?

        You know better than me, maybe I’m wrong but I don’t understand, why we can’t minimize Thunderbird to try? I think this is more important than Supernova thing.

          Thunderbird for Android is a different team. Supernova needed to happen because desktop needed modernization, Thunderbird for Android is happening too.
