Github pros: - Can see new stuff that happened since the last time I was on the PR - Review mode - Faster - Can view rendered file (like .md) without leaving the page - Commits visible on the main tab And for a more subjective one: the gitlab feels extremely crowded and a general lack of polish. Take the right sidebar on a merge request for examples, they are icons since it is hidden by default even in full screen.
Hovering on the + shows a Add Todo dialog but hovering over any other icon does nothing. I had to click to see what the watch and stopwatch were. In general, I wasn't able to guess what any of the icons were, except for the labels icon. On the other hand, Github doesn't use icons: just a bunch of text which is imo nicer in terms of design and more user friendly. |

Thanks for leaving some feedback.
* Speed
GNOME is looking to self-host their own GitLab CE instance. We understand that GitLab.com might have some performance issues. This is specific to our hosted GitLab instance due to its scale. A self-hosted instance on a much smaller scale is much much faster.
Also, we're always looking to improve GitLab performance - check out issues labeled "performance" in the GitLab CE repo [1] as well as issues in the infrastructure repo which are about .com specifically [2]
* Commits visible on the main tab
A list of commits is just a click away in the MR view, in the "Commits" tab. Also commits that are added are also displayed in the main tab.
* Can see new stuff that happened
The main MR tab lists the actions that happened related to it in a chronological order, from first to last. You can always look at that and see any new MR changes
* Sidebar
The sidebar is expanded by default on larger screen sizes and collapsed on smaller ones to preserve screen real estate for the MR itself.
I opened an issue about the icons themselves, see [3]
* View rendered files in MR
We have renderers for all kinds of files. But in a MR, we diff the MD source files. If we rendered them, diffing them would be almost impossible.
I opened an issue about having toggle-able rendering in the changes tab in MRs. Feel free to chime in in [4]
* Review mode
Could you explain this in a bit more detail? Maybe we could open a feature proposal for this functionality.
Hopefully I addressed all your concerns, feel free to add anything or dive into any of the issues, or even contact me personally.
