Github is testing new repo page design: gist.github.com/broccolini/2245234ac3a4936049e8ffc13f376986
Good parts:
- The right column looks awesome: does not get in the way when you need code, but also immediately available when needed.
- Solves two-storey nested tabs problem.
- Fantastic that you can see contributors’ faces — after all, open source is about people first and foremost.
All in all, I’m glad too see many of my ideas from February 2019 implemented tonsky.me/blog/github-redesign
Bad parts:
Repo header. They call it “responsive” design. But all they did is stretched the old, non-responsive one. It looks weird, given that the page content itself does not stretch. You have to move mouse more, which is a bad thing, and that’s it. You also get huge gap in the middle. There’s no real benefit of having this stretched.
