- erichocean 14y agoAnd it's awful. I used to be able to see the description about a repository someone I follow had starred, and it was easily my best way to find out about interesting projects. Now, all you see is username/repositoryname, which is damn near useless. They replaced actual content with...whitespace. I don't know how they screwed this one up so badly, but they need to change it back to being socially useful again, and pronto.
- ianstormtaylor 14y agoReally? We had to jump to "awful" for missing that one feature? Don't get me wrong, it sounds awesome and like something they should definitely add back in... but really? "Awful"!? Our language is being diluted.
- stagas 14y ago+1, starred without the description is pretty much useless. All I read is "Random Person starred OtherRandom/random-repo". Need to save room? Group similars together. "X, Y, Z and 15 others starred X/Y, The coolest util in the world".
- alexboots 14y agoThey forgot an important aspect of UI design: important info is never perceived as clutter by the user (from some page in 'Don't make me think')
- graue 14y agoCouldn't agree more. Without the description of what the repo is, it's just clutter.
- reledi 14y agoThanks for pointing that out. I really dislike that they got rid of user thumbnails, makes the GitHub experience feel less social.
