I'm sad to see this didn't come with a responsive design for the main site. You get horizontal scrollbars everywhere if your window is thinner than ~1000 pixels, making it impossible to have code + GitHub side by side on a laptop without some serious annoyance. The repo redesign made it worse, as now all the in-project links (issues, pulls, wiki...) are offscreen.
I'd happily work around this by using the mobile view from my desktop browser (as you can do on Wikipedia and many news sites), but GitHub doesn't seem to have made that possible, either.
If any GitHubbers are reading, please make the design (at least a little bit) responsive!
- DivisibleByZero 13y agoWhen I saw the headline I was really hoping this meant that made their site responsive. Github is pretty much unbearable using a tiling window manager.
- shanselman 13y agoYa, I just resized expecting to see the mobile site "pop" in but it's a whole 'nother app!
- CaptchaReader 13y agoIf it was responsive, all they would be doing is "hiding or relocating stuff", but the size (in KB) of each page would be the same for mobile and desktop. That would make it unusable on a mobile. They NEEDED to do different pages for each, and make it much lighter for mobile.
