So here's what I suggest to the author: go to the "Issues" page for some project, and see the effect of this redesign.
From my perspective: there's now a lot of useless tabs on the top (commits/branches/releases), the repository description will either take extra space OR will disappear and the tabs are going to shift.
- Getting rid of icons: OK
- Moving description over tabs: bad
- Shuffling tabs around: bad
- Different info instead of code details: meh
- Vanity counters: OK
- Changed style/color-scheme: bike-shedding / meh
Opinionated summary: hit and miss.
- mroche 8y agoThe vanity counters argument just seemed to me like the author really just doesn’t understand the site or the audience. Which is surprising because he is a dev. The metrics of stars is one thing, that’s a vanity option used by user for bookmarking and project maintainer’s popularity statistic. The fork option has dual functionality, forking the project or viewing all the other forks. When it comes to Watch, that’s just being pedantic. Maybe non-developers expect to be shown the current state of something, but as a dev I feel that I would like that button to show the inverse, so I know what will happen when I press it. “Click Watch to Watch the repo!”. Two sides of the same coin maybe.
