Hi Andrew,

I just had the chance to play with the latest version of the web-app. I didn't realize how far along you already are! The interface for adding translations is very intuitive. Only the warning that both summary and description are needed appears as soon as one starts to type. It could instead appear when clicking the commit button. Or, if that one stays disabled, it could instead appear besides the button. Don't know how easy that is to change, but the jump in the layout when the warning is displayed as soon as one types is just a tiny bit jarring.

Other than that, a few thoughts on the current site:

* Changing the language of the site is a bit indirect. I tried clicking the language logo first, instead one has to use the menu. Not a huge problem, it was intuitive enough for me.

* The back button of the browser does not always work as expected. It worked for stuff like going into adding a rating and returning to the package, but when trying to go back from viewing a package to the package list, the list jumps to the very beginning, it does not preserve the current page as it was when clicking the package in the list.

* It occurred to me that we may need to tag screenshots with a language according to their contents. That way, users would see a screenshot of the app in their native language.

* My suggestion about pulling out the search field for the package list seems like it would be still worthwhile.

In any case, the web app is really cool as it is already! I hope to catch up with HaikuDepot sooner than later.

Best regards,
-Stephan
