Has anyone else found themselves wondering if GitHub switched to a different web framework?
I feel like they moved further down the client-side rendering rabbit hole recently. Their UI feels increasingly janky to me. Several times a day I get a view of completely un-styled HTML that eventually organizes itself into the appropriate presentation.
For many scenarios, the GH web UI used to be preferable over navigating through visual studio because of how responsive it was. Now, I find the exact opposite to be true. I avoid the GH web UI as much as possible. VS2022 isn't great, but at least it's not implemented using react on top of some bullshit chrome wrapper.
- mwcampbell 3y agoYeah, it's React. It's been a pretty frequent topic of discussion in some corners of the fediverse lately, e.g. https://mastodon.social/@bendelarre/111585575314778379 https://mastodon.social/@bendelarre/111585575314778379
- bob1029 3y agoThank you for the link. I've been trying to find any discussion whatsoever. This commentary inspired me to submit a support issue. I intend to start some drama with GH over this. ReactJS will win if we do nothing.
