HN: Why is GitHub's web interface not responsive yet?
I want to be able to look at documentations and vs code at the same time with the screen split in two
why are they making it so difficult.
What could justify this lack of consideration for basic user experience?
- tobr 7y agoGood question. You can spoof your user agent to get their separate, half-baked mobile version. I wonder what their mobile traffic looks like. I find myself ending up on GitHub on my phone all the time, and can only barely get by without switching to the desktop mode.
- kevinsimper 7y agoTheir website is so old that it was before one was thinking, mobile-first, and now to rewrite, they don't want to spend the effort combating legacy :)
- was_boring 7y agoHonestly, I don't know. Since MS bought them they have made many improvements, and seem to take gitlab seriously. What they lack is a decent mobile/tablet experience so I don't always have to be at a laptop/desktop. I'm not willing to provide is trusted access to a third party when they have the full backing of one of the most well funded companies in history.
