Github PR viewer UX is just horrible. The UI is bloated, slow and very very difficult to use. (For example, commenting on a Copilot comment frequently takes 5-8s to the UI to submit and update.)
Why not fix the garbage UI first?
If we could just see unresolved comments and CI status in a page that take 100ms to load and 1 second to scroll to the bottom, everything would be fine.
The problem is that it the PR Conversation page takes 20-25 seconds to load a scroll through; and is full of outdated reports from Copilot/ Devin that don't go away of themselves, and don't have a good UI to be dismissed, once they're irrelevant.
I'm outside the US so poor UI <-> server network interaction may be magnified. But for something that could be simple and reasonable, it's just overloaded with garbage and an appalling experience.
Fix the basics first. I'd fire the entire team and every single Product Manager/ UX Lead involved. Anybody from Github listening?
