Completely disagree. The desktop app helps me greatly to create digestible commute and PRs. I use the command line for 99% of the actions I take but the desktop app gives me a much better visual of my changes and has helped me catch unintended (or temporary) changes many times. On the website, the Notification Center has gotten better, linked methods is very helpful, code spaces are very cool (though I haven’t gone deep on them), repo redesign is great … IMHO, only gotten better.

I'm just saying that they should be focused on the webapp, not slowly abandoning it and making us use the native apps.

  Facts over perception, go look at changelog, look at primer... The Web UI gets new features almost daily.

    You're missing my point. I don't want all the new features. I want the existing ones taken care of and polished.

      In one comment, you say the webapp is abandoned. In another, you say it gets too many new features you don’t care about. If the latter is true, the former is definitely not true. That’s the main reason you’re getting some flack in this thread!

        Sorry, let me be clear. Existing features feel abandoned and neglected. CSS styles are getting out of whack, margins and padding are way off in many places as they shoehorn in new features. You can neglect something's foundation while strapping new bells and whistles on.

        Let me be clear, Primer is a UI kit, not a feature, so if they're working on polishing the UI kit, which we can all see that they are, then they're doing what you're asking them to do. Again, fact over perception because the commits and activity are telling a completely different story. https://github.com/primer https://github.com/primer I think github looks fairly nice/modern given it's age and I'm not having issues or feeling like anything is "abandoned". All I'm hearing is hyperbole.

      I agree that I don’t need most of the new features but, in my experience working with it almost daily, the web experience has only gotten better for me in the last year or more.
