Thanks for the open discussion!
As eslaught pointed out, it's not about the obvious mistakes.
Unfortunately, the navigation is very fragmented. There's a left menu, which should be the primary one, but it changes all the time depending on the context.
The top menu is very inconsistent, presented in multiple layers, with different styles for each level, using very low contrast text with no other visual aid. There are no dropdowns or other ways to get to frequented pages faster. Being aligned to center also prevents me from memorizing the UI spatially (YMMV).
And there's also the issue with minimalistic buttons acting like links.
It is my humble opinion that rewriting the frontend in Vue will not, by itself, alleviate the matter; however, fixing this part of the UX will make GitHub and Atlassian really run for their money.
- sytse 10y agoThanks for the advise, I passed it on to our UX team. I agree that rewriting in Vue is just an element of having a good interface and that the menu itself is very important too.
