Work continues to expand the cross-platform open source Nexus Mods app, which will eventually replace Vortex with v0.14.3 out now with new features.
This latest release should make working with modding bigger games easier, as they've added in the ability to create collections. Enabling you to enable / disabled a set quickly. Sounds like a really great feature for quickly changing your games with various downloaded mods.
And, one of the most requested features is also finally here. You can search your installed mods via the Library, and other sections will be coming "in a future release".
The rest of the info from the GitHub:
More Features
- The app will now load the latest game version data every 30 minutes in the background.
Technical Changes
- Added validation to app settings to prevent bad values from being saved.
- Collection metadata will now refresh each time the page is loaded in the app.
- Improve error reporting for the Nexus Mods API requests.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug which prevented the app from properly recognising GOG DLCs.
- Fixed an exception that would often appear when viewing External Changes.
- Improved the error reporting around "Missing archive" errors to provide more useful information that will help fix it.
Known Issues
- Once a collection created by the user is removed from the app, it can no longer be edited, even if it was exported to the website.
- Exported collections do not include a valid version number.
- The game version is not checked when adding a collection, meaning you can install outdated mods without being warned.
- The sort order for some columns does not work as expected.
- The table header sorting and active tab states are not saved and are reset each time the view is loaded.
- When deleting the second-to-last editable collection, an error message will show. This can be ignored.

I feel most people are more waiting on some new game support, especially bethesda ones, which have been in the works since the first beta of the app got released. I also feel like the BG3 support is kinda superfluous? I don't know hos they are choosing what element should be added next, but they're not good at it.
