Ugh. Yet another design by someone who keeps their browser window maximized (or has the luxury of an enormous display) and expects everyone else to do the same. A few things that leap out at me:
- Large margins everywhere
- Sidebar gobbling up 20-30% of my browser window's horizontal space, no matter how far down I scroll.
- Hamburger menu hiding the dashboard and other frequently used links.
- Latest commit timestamp hidden by mostly useless stuff like tag and branch count.
This layout wastes a ton of space. Information density feels too low, which might be appropriate for a product landing page, but is counterproductive in a development tool. It also makes things needlessly difficult for people who multitask with side-by-side windows or have small screens.
On the positive side, at least this layout is less annoying than Gitlab's "bury everything within javascript menus" approach?
I have the same complaints, I do agree that the new redesign looks great in my external monitor, except I do my browsing on my 14" display and the repo information looks kind of squished into the left.
