"Load more" button & the User Experience
With the recent updates, "Load more" button has been added to help users, but I think it kinda hinders the user experience. Please let me explain why, I have been using Tipi since last year and love it. I am working as a UX/UI Designer, and tinkering around cloud is my hobby. Here are some of the things I noticed and some suggestions that could improve the UX.
Points:
- Before It was easy to just scroll through the apps quickly and have an overview of the apps
- It was easy to quickly find out if there were new apps added to the official repo (app store)
- But now it's way more difficult to do any of the of the above, instead it takes up to five clicks on the "load more" button to see the whole list
- We don't have tags such as "new" to list only newly added
Some suggestions:
- Sorting, I am not sure how but it would be great to have a sorting option (Recently added, Recently updated, A-Z)
- "New" tag on the lists/thumbnails of app store, on the new added apps
- Have a proper pagination while having the option of showing 10, 20, 50 and 100 apps per page (with the next and previous buttons)
- Or just remove the load more button, either bring back the simple list as before (the list loading at once) or Infinite-loading page, each time you reach the end of the loaded app, the next 20 apps appears, instead of users having to click on the "Load more" button.
Thank you!

Yeah agree seems like a better approach
@Nicolas
Thanks for your valuable feedback @NoisyFridge indeed the experience can be improved. We had to switch out of the old model because there is now too many apps
Slowing down the page load
Of course undersdandable.
We could make the page load more apps on scroll
That would be nice
We could
Niceee

Maybe implement lazy loading to the older version with something like anchors for « back purposes »?
Keeping scroll position on back is something possible
Yeah, keeping scroll position on infinite scroll is possible, i have seen it on many websites, adding that would really improve ux.
I implemented the infinite scroll ✅
Will come in next release
Next minor one tho
Thank you for the infinite scrolling, much appreciated 👌✌️
