Can you please share why you don’t have a file list on a left panel (like in IntelliJ, Windows Explorer or even Bitbucket DC) while reviewing PRs? Do stats show that people prefer to be shown a long diff with a tiny tab on the top-right that shows the list of files?

Wouldn’t that be a UX worth improving? (For us, we’ve attempted the move 3 times, but developers keep rejecting BBCloud because of the annoying UI - mostly the missing treeview to navigate files).

To be 100% honest - I don't have an answer for you on that. My teams focus primarily on CI/CD and the new extensibility tooling we're building (allowing customers to basically add their own features specific to their use-cases, like the plugin system for Server, but simpler).

If you shoot me an email I can connect you with the PM who manages the PR experience directly - they're doing a lot of design work in this space and would be really keen to talk.

100% of private discussions with Atlassian are met with no resolution.

APIs are shit.

Confluence Cloud is shit.

Forge is shit.

Connect is shit.

“Contact us privately” => No thank you.

Hey I'm happy to have a public conversation about our API's and Forge as they're what I know about.

Can you give some specific examples of issues with those (in the context of Bitbucket?). ~1/4 of my teams are working in that space at the moment.
