Gitlab UI is the worst. I hope they do less features and just fix their god-awful UI for once!

Interesting (and rude). I think it's much better than any other group chat app. Especially for groups organised around code projects.

  I was talking about GitLab, not Gitter. Yes it's rude, but I want to love GitLab - it's amazing. However I just can't bring myself over with this UI. It's just too bad and too unintuitive. Also slow.

    Oh, sorry I missed that you said GitLab. It's less rude if you're not commenting on the open sourcing of a project to just say negative stuff about it :) I have to use GitLab for work and I find the UI much harder to use than GitHub, so I agree there. But, it's open source and we can all contribute, and in particular the best place to make your feelings know about the UI is constructively in the issue tracker. Here's the main issue sparked from the last HN discussion about GitLab UI: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/25752 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/25752

    From my own experience, Gitlab is fast for as long as u have sufficient RAM available. It becomes slow when the SWAP is hitted.

      Same here. Extremely fast on a 4GB VM.

    This type of feedback is almost completely useless for a project. "the worst", "too bad", and "unintuitive" are not actionable so if you really want to help a project then describe concrete issues.

      I'm not an UI/UX expert but a back-end developer. I cannot give you more feedback then this.

        "I'm not an UI/UX expert but a back-end developer." This actually makes you the perfect candidate for giving us good feedback. You may not be able to articulate exactly why UI elements feel off or don't work for you, but you know they could be better. If you are interested, you can join our UX Research Panel to help us pinpoint areas we can improve. We want you to love GitLab too :) https://about.gitlab.com/researchpanel/ https://about.gitlab.com/researchpanel/
