"They violently break all the recent frontend best practices. Where is the React or Vie, SPA architecture, tons of JS? There should be a federal law prohibiting making fast and simple UIs so that nobody will have concerns that the UI frameworks war leads us to great future." - viach https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20775549

Honestly the UI is confusing and pretty poor. Also looks terrible on Mobile.

Yes but remember, hating on React developers is the what is cool at the moment, thus the project is cool.

I don't have a problem using the UI on mobile. And it looks nice IMO.

And the ability to create a repo on their site by just pushing to a remote with the right name[1] has really made it easier for me to use their service. What do you find confusing and poor about the UI? I find it straightforward and efficient.

Maybe I was being too critical - it is actually quite nice on mobile.

I do use the find-file feature on Github a lot, as well as the quick file editor. Both are missing here, but I kind of see that at least the file editor is not well suited to the projects ethos.
