Ugh. Yet another design by someone who keeps their browser window maximized (or has the luxury of an enormous display) and expects everyone else to do the same.

Ugh. Yet another design by someone who keeps their browser window maximized (or has the luxury of an enormous display) and expects everyone else to do the same. A few things that leap out at me:
- Large margins everywhere
- Sidebar gobbling up 20-30% of my browser window's horizontal space, no matter how far down I scroll.
- Hamburger menu hiding the dashboard and other frequently used links.
- Latest commit timestamp hidden by mostly useless stuff like tag and branch count.
This layout wastes a ton of space. Information density feels too low, which might be appropriate for a product landing page, but is counterproductive in a development tool. It also makes things needlessly difficult for people who multitask with side-by-side windows or have small screens.
On the positive side, at least this layout is less annoying than Gitlab's "bury everything within javascript menus" approach?
- realusername 6y agoI have the same complaints, I do agree that the new redesign looks great in my external monitor, except I do my browsing on my 14" display and the repo information looks kind of squished into the left.
