To be honest, I don’t remember the specifics of Jerboa. I remember it feeling very utilitarian though. Not terrible for some people, I understand that. It just felt like it was designed by programmers, if that makes sense.
I prefer a more white-space centric design. Cards, material design, with gesture based controls. Connect actually does that well, but I think Sync might be coded better differently, because it feels a lot more smooth. No jankiness. It doesn’t feel like a web app.
I kinda threw a lot of concepts out there, hopefully some of that made sense haha.
Also, I don’t mean to say that people who like Jerboa are somehow wrong - you like what you like and I’m glad you have something that you like :D.
