Nice.

Github has all the incentives and infrastructure in place to build all the layers on top of the repositories and existing social network. Ive seen a bunch of companies launch with competing project boards, ci systems, etc but its not clear how you carve out a space for yourself from within a set of reasonable defaults.

Github should first fix that it displays "issues" of a repository instead of useful info when exploring https://github.com/explore

Why would I want to see issues of a repo I have no clue about? I am there just to discover a new repo.

I'm more interested in GitHub's Issue Forms (as an evolution of Issue Templates): https://twitter.com/frenck/status/1355620350176976901

Does anyone know what the status of these is?

This looks like a great step forward.

I always found it interesting that proposed enhancements are thrown into Issues. Maybe it's the word "issues" itself because I associate it with a negative connotation.

I've noticed since Microsoft acquired Github, the "explore" tab has been more and more useless.

It's been months since it displays me the same repositories, and significantly less than before.

I don't know if it's related, but the timing is suspicious.

I wonder how tense things are over at Atlassian right now. Jira seems so universally hated that it feels like any competition that ticks a few basic needs could start hurting them.

I find it interesting that it sometimes shows my very own repositories (or repositories of one of my organizations) within the 'Explore repositories' section on the dashboard. As if I didn't know those repositories yet.
