People mentioned that seeing the video made their jaw drop, they didn't expect such an integrated experience. I would like to know what people think, both good and bad. Currently the plan is to improve the idea to production experience every release to make sure everyone can replicate it https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/25986

I'd usually refrain from "+1" style comments, but you guys rock!

Its great to finally see some improvements in the interface, but its still rather far from being as user-friendly as GitHub.

I've got some very specific aspects in mind. Are contributions to Gitlab's interface accepted?

We'd strongly recommend that you open an issue to discuss it first, but yeah, of course they are! :)

Can you share what these items are? I have used GitLab quite a bit and GitHub just a little, and I so far have enjoyed using GitLab much more. I had a hard time finding my way around on GitHub.

The main parts I've used in both are creating Issues and Merge Requests, and in GitLab I've accepted them and managed teams/projects.

Holy hell this is amazing! Gitlab all the way! You release often and there is always something awesome in there, I love reading your release notes.

One thing I find strangely lacking (seeing as you bundle it) is notifications from gitlab to mattermost when builds fail or issues/mrs are opened. Apparently I have to run some strange 3rd party application to process webhooks?

Great stuff! One thing that's been broken for me for a while now: Raw links. I just get an empty response. It's kind of an important feature for me (and I'm sure others) so would love to see it fixed.
