And of course in the quest to re-skin everything for no reason, important things like last commit message and status were removed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks for the feedback about the latest commit status. This is something we should definitely fix. Also – I don't think there is a principle of lowering information density at work here. I think it's just a design that we will keep iterating. We are pro information density at GitHub.
I have a light sensitivity condition; large patches of white really hurt to look at for any real amount of time. Please consider implementing an optional dark variant in the vein of https://github.com/StylishThemes/GitHub-Dark as an option.
I submitted feedback over it but, aside from the over-reliance on rounded corners, and making pills and buttons hard to separate, the single worst change is that you can't see the latest commit status from the repo screen. Instead, you get the commit hash, and have to click a tiny ellipsis button to get the commit message and the status indicator. When I'm browsing on github and not using git directly, the commit sho…

You're browsing the file listing page ( Code tab) but it now has a bunch of extraneous stuff on the right hand side (Did you know that this repository has 0.5% Perl code??). Also the most prominent bit is the bold #105 in the commit message - who cares about the handcrafted comment, the important thing is the Github specific pull request number.

It's coming.
Personally, I love that it fits perfectly in exactly half of a 15-inch Macbook Pro screen. That's always how I have GitHub open and it bugged me that it didn't fit right before.
I don't want to over-perform it, but I'm annoyed GH bothered prompting me for feedback on something that they were going to general release in less than a week anyways. I'm not really a cranky person, but I already wasted an hour of my life looking for some good plugins that would help me annotate the page to illustrate my thoughts.
I have a billion things more important than giving GH free feedback on my plate, but I was nonetheless naively looking forward to giving feedback on it because it was the first time I've ever been opted into a UI experiment where the ability to give feedback was so prominent that I felt like anyone actually gave a shit.
So. Now, I'm cranky.
1. The visual alignment of this design is miserable relative to the previous. I'm willing to entertain counterpoints from the actual designers here (and I do appreciate that this design is more responsive). I was going to send a number of nice little graphics illustrating how multiple strong visual lines are destroyed by this layout, but I'm not frittering away any more of my life on it, now.
2. The list of releases is probably the single most important signal on the page. And now, if a project has no releases, it's just an absence. There's no indication. I just have to know, from its absence, that there are no releases.
3. It's covered elsewhere in the thread, but I agree on the languages being moved. Someone notes that the existing location was obscure; fine, just force the existing indicators to expanded-by-default. They were in the right place. The second most important signal is what languages a project is in. In some responsive views this information is now at the bottom of the page. This is absolutely backwards.
Everything else on my commentary list is probably covered elsewhere here. If not, I don't really care.
P.S. In the future, don't jerk people around with feature opt-ins with less than a week of turnaround on feedback.
