Hiya,

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.
