GitHub was down

They seem to be doing heavy work on it. Now on Mobile you can't see repos in "Desktop Mode" which is unfortunate. I have to tell my browser to pretend to be in desktop mode. Plus the regex post from the other day seems to imply they are working on new things when somebody from GH replied in said thread. I don't mind improvements, but don't break production guys...

They also changed the "Group Membership" dialog to be paginated when you add a new person to an organization. We have over 200 groups so now I have to page through for ever new hire we add. There's not even a search option.

I'm sure the pagination might better for performance, but it's terrible UI.

They may have missed that one, because at the same time they introduced both pagination and search to the repository membership page, and boy did that help us on one of our repos with a few hundred direct collaborators, by the end we could only manage access through the API because the page didn't even load most of the time.

I see why web pages need pagination so the server or browser doesn't OOM, but there really ought to be 10000 entries per page, not 25 that most sites seem to like.

Ctrl+F on a list of 10000 entries is far easier than clicking through 400 ajaxy pages and trying to figure out some custom and buggy filtering system that probably doesn't allow regex.

Past 10000 records most sites probably ought to just let you export in something bigquery compatible anyway - Regular Joe isn't going to have more than 10000 of anything, and anyone who does can learn how to use proper data tools.

Did you miss the part where I noted Github’s lists fail to load (let alone render) long before that point?

They really need beta.github.com to let people test changes that are not yet defacto. A uservoice type of thing, and the ability for people to join. I love to beta test and give feedback. Microsoft has used uservoice in the past, as has Sulake and other companies I've beta tested for (as a customer).

Edit:

Realized *.github.com takes you to your .github.io sites.

Wait, what? On iOS Safari I can only see repos in desktop mode now (except the issue tracker which is responsive anyway). Which is a good thing. Not sure why you have the exact opposite experience?

(I do vaguely recall being asked if I would prefer desktop mode on my phone a while back, and I said yes.)

I think it sets a cookie or similar to save this.

Intentions are meaningless. If you're providing a service, (especially charging money for said service), you can't break it because "you're hard at work".

Apparently you can...because it is broken.

A few days of degraded service is frustrating, but their up-time has bought them a lot of credit in my book - especially considering what they do.

This is the real world. No service is magically infallible.

A lot of people have patience on day one, but this is the third or so day now this has happened. It’s understandable there are ruffled feathers.
