Honestly I've gotten used to this weird UI flux since it's been this way for uhhhh two years? Most of the updates seem to be for seasonal events - like, they rolled out a new mobile-friendly UI for the Festival of Neggs this year.
I use /~ixiniva for a lot of my dailies if I do them manually - it's got almost everything you'd do on a daily basis.
I also use a hefty amount of userscripts lol. Neopets is a functioning website /s
