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

It is still light years ahead of the slipshod UX of Gitlab.

Gitlab checks off all the feature boxes that managers love to see, but for devs that use it, it's a disjointed and inconsistent experience compared to github.

For my part, my main complaints with GitLab's UI are:

1) It's too slow. If the same UI were 2x faster it'd be a lot easier to use.

2) It doesn't meet the bare minimum of "at least do something useful" if JavaScript is turned off

3) Getting around the various tools available for a single repo is difficult

Pot calling the kettle black a bit with that 3rd one, though.
