#12I like how Github is taking note about the lack of innovation, and doing the right thing; but I'd like to see the blog post announcements AFTER the feature is implemented. It's like saying "Oh, you're thirsty? I'm going to give you a glass of water, but not yet, next week"

I was thinking the same thing. It is good to see GitHub get new features, hopefully the competitors do as well. As long as we don't end up with another SourceForge at any point, one is enough.

Might be a way to get unofficial feedback from the community as the news spreads and make final tweaks before they release it.

#15Awesome... I can think of 4 or 5 times I have been away from my laptop but still need to update a photo for a client. Glad to see this, otherwise I would have never known it had been added!
Slightly brings up an interesting point. With native apps, I usually review release notes upon updating. Webapps get to release whenever they please to little notice of the end user (for better or worse). With releasing new webapp functionality, bug fixes, etc "continuously" I think some cool bits get overlooked...

I would think that this sort of feature was underway well before most of the negative feedback came in. This might be the reason they announced the feature before it was live though.

I've always been impressed with how often they release new features, it actually seems like a weekly thing for GitHub. I don't think that the events of the past two weeks accelerated that process at all.

I see a file upload banner when I look at my repos. Probably A/B testing

That would obviously be ideal but announcing after the feature is implemented may be too late.
Opinion shifts have a lot of momentum - let's say promising a feature pushes back on that shift with force X. Announcing the feature when it's live and ready to use pushes back on that shift with force Y. Even if Y has much greater magnitude than X, it is likely much more effective to reverse that opinion shift by applying X today, than Y in a week, or two, or four, when the shift has gathered sufficient momentum that Y has no effect.

This is already available to me at least, so the blog post is very welcome.
