Re: Show HN: Better Hub – A better GitHub experience
#13The website doesn't tell me what it does or why it's better. It just wants me to sign-up and provide a bunch of permissions without first selling itself to me. The landing page should clearly communicate what this does and contrast it with GitHub to make it obvious how it's better.

#15And I very much agree with Mitchell that the repository page needs improvement. If it's a public repository I'm exploring, I scroll always down through the files to see the README. If it's a repository I'm maintaining I'm either clicking on commits, PRs or issues. All this information should be right there on the first page! Most of the realestate is occupied by the file view, something I never cared about.
I have also been working on improving the experience for myself with https://lubeno.dev, and have been thinking for the last year how GitHub can be improved. I started specifically with Pull Requests, borrowing some ideas from other platforms, like stacked PRs. One feature that I'm very proud of is the possibility to see an interdiff when someone changes the code I commented on. You can instantly tell if the issue was addressed instead of getting an tag on the comment and hunting down the latest changes. Would really love to see more innovation when it comes to forges. It looks like GitHub set the standard 20 years ago and everything else is a 1:1 copy of it.

#20Personally I don’t see the appeal of tacking on to a dependency that I’d prefer to get rid of.
