GitHub pull requests were down

GitHub isn't focusing on creating a good Git platform anymore, they are an AI company now

> I've got this feeling that the endless feature creep of Github has begun to cause rot of core essential features.

Tangential, but... I was so excited by their frontend, which was slowly adopting web components, until after acquisition by Microsoft they started rewriting it in React.

(Design is still very solid though!)

GitHub in essence is still pretty much the same, there's products that have feature creep but I wouldn't say GitHub does that.

I can't say that I'm having issues with the performance either. I work with large PRs too (Especially if there's vendored dependencies) but I never ran into a show stopping performance issue that would make it "useless".

I often miss entire files in the review process because the review page collapses them by default and makes them hard to spot. If they’re going to be collapsed by default at least make it very visible. This is critical for security too, you don’t want people sneaking in code.

Still doesn't read email, but it's close to that.

Yeah i've switched to doing pr reviews in goland because their ui is dogshit slow if there are more than like 10 files to diff.

We recommend Codeberg/Forgejo now since it is better in every way, and Gitlab went corpo.

I've used self-hosted GitLab a bunch at work, it's pretty good there still. In my opinion GitLab CI is also a solid offering, especially for the folks coming from something like Jenkins, doubly so when combined with Docker executors and mostly working with containers.

I used to run a GitLab instance for my own needs, however keeping up with the updates (especially across major versions) proved to be a bit too much and it was quite resource hungry.

My personal stack right now is Gitea + Drone CI + Nexus, though I might move over to Woodpecker CI in the future and also maybe look for alternatives to Nexus (it's also quite heavyweight and annoying to admin).

Having tried gitlab, it's a very poor product almost unmaintainable as a self hosted option. Reminds me of Eclipse IDE - crammed with every other unnecessary feature/plugin and the basic features are either very slow or buggy.

At this point Gitlab is just there because being even a small X% of a huge million/billion dollar market is good enough as a company even if the product is almost unusable.
