31 + The issue in question is [here]().
32 +
33 + Nextcloud, in an update, moved to Vue so the News app developers decided to rewrite the app in Vue as well.
34 + However due to the styles that Nextcloud removed the app's sidebar is an unusable mess.
35 +
36 + For whatever reason the app's developers are unwilling to patch/bodge the app while they're rewritng it.
37 + It's now been unusable for since Nextcloud 24 and we're now on Nextcloud 29.
