Let me tell you my regular frustration, as a person migrating tons of stuff to GitLab.
1. Google "GitLab [obvious feature]"
2. Land on feedback.gitlab.com, on a feature request with hundreds of upvotes
3. "We're accepting pull requests"
4. Filed in 2013
5. Still open
6. Sigh loudly.
7. Check the blog for what evidently more important features they've been working on instead
8. "We're very excited to announce that we'll ship GitLab Mattermost, an open source, on-premises messaging app"
9. Sigh loudly
10. Conclude that they are probably an open source company strapped for cash and to cut them some slack
11. See HN article about closing series A
12. "Oh good, now they can finally get to their epic feature backlog"
13. "I think we're already there, what would you like to see?"
14. Sigh loudly.
Don't get me wrong, I love GL. But wow is that workflow annoying.
- sytse 11y agoThere are 1000+ features open on feedback.gitlab.com, we can't make them all. If people contribute them that is a strong signal they are wanted. What is the feature you would like to see?
