GitHub have not really got much better at adding new features either though :(
- carlmr 7mo agoThey added the service unavailable feature.
- embedding-shape 7mo agoThis was before Actions and a whole lot of other non-git related stuff. There was years (maybe even a decade?) where GitHub essentially was unchanged besides fixes and small incremental improvements, long time ago :)
- wongarsu 7mo agoGH Actions was good for them as another billable feature, but I'm skeptical we actually gained much over external CI providers The improvements to PR review have been nice though
- cozzyd 7mo agoDon't forget the security implications if you host your own actions runner.
- nine_k 7mo agoWhat are these?
- embedding-shape 7mo ago> The improvements to PR review have been nice though I dunno, probably the worst UX downgrade so far, almost no PRs are "fully available" on page load, but requires additional clicks and scrolling to "unlock" all the context, kind of sucks. Used to be you loaded the PR diff and you actually saw the full diff, except really large files. You could do CTRL+F and search for stuff, you didn't need to click to expand even small files. Reviewing medium/large PRs is just borderline obnoxious today on GH.
- epistasis 7mo agoI find it impossible to use the current diff view for most codebases, and spend tons of time clicking open all available sections... They have somehow found the worst possible amount of context for doing review. I tend to pull everything down to VS Code if I want to have any confidence these days.
- jmaw 7mo agoBack in the day when software could be "finished". Ahh, the good 'ol days
- phyzome 7mo agoI don't know, it's nice that they finally broke native browser in-page search. That's a great feature for people who hate finding things.
- cozzyd 7mo agoMakes you actually read the code!
- vulcan01 7mo agoIntended usage is to use Edge Copilot to search the page for you.
- omnimus 7mo agoI work on lots of smaller client projects - usually named by the hostname. I absolutely don't understand how at some point the github search got so great it became unable to find my own repo by its name. We have since switched to self hosted Forgejo instance. Unsurprisingly the search works.
- BenjiWiebe 7mo agoNative browser in-page search is working for me, on Firefox. Is this a browser-specific change or is it a staged rollout coming my way soon?
- williamdclt 7mo agoThey definitely have. Github evolved a lot faster after the microsoft acquisition, I remember being mildly impressed after it was stagnant for years (this is not an opinion on whether it was evolving in the right direction or if it was a good trade-off)
- __alexs 7mo agoNo they were slow at doing features before, and they are still slow afterwards.
- lobsterthief 7mo agoThey’ve really improved Projects! If your team is entirely technical, this can replace Jira.
