A comment on GitHub's new notifications: a case of regressive design.

I had tried the beta/preview, and it was terrible.

It was as though they had created a mailbox, and I was looking at a long, small-font, mailbox message list.

I'm not a design expert, but I felt annoyed and, somehow, a bit confused (?) ...

I don't understand why they would do this. Kind of reminds me of the supreme folly that is Microsoft's Metro designs.

My first reaction was similar to yours, but after using it a few weeks I much prefer it over the old notifications. Those were really bad. These are functional and I expect them to be further polished as things go by.
