In just a few weeks, most of which was familiarising myself with Bubble, I was able to build a pretty polished responsive web app.

If you're interested in what you can build with Bubble, check it out - I'd love to get feedback.

And if you're so inclined, I'm on Product Hunt today too.

What's wrong with the current mentions plugin and what's preventing you from writing a new one or improving the existing one with a PR?

Comment · 8 years ago

I wouldn’t imagine that to be intentional, possibly upstream infrastructure is blocking somewhere.

Thanks, glad you've noticed the improvements. We've still got more to do, but it's been an important part of every release for a while now.

Hi, sorry you haven't noticed any improvements. We've been chipping away at performance for the last 6 months and have made some pretty noticeable improvements in various areas of the application.

For example, the average response time of an issue page has come down from 2.5s to 750ms over the last 6 months.

We still have a lot to do, but we're getting there.

We've been working quite a bit of our NFS storage topology and have recently introduced some remediation to prevent outages based on NFS availability. Previously an NFS failure would have pretty wide-reaching implications, now it's a lot more isolated.

We're also working on an entirely new storage architecture for scaling and are slowly rolling this out. You can see more here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly

We've been spending a lot of effort making GitLab.com more performant over the course of this year. We still have some ways to go, but every release includes performance enhancements based on performance data from GitLab.com.

We no longer see GitLab.com as a mechanism to stress test GitLab and we're certainly pushing hard to improve performance and availability.

Yip, GitLab has subgroups that allow you to organise projects like that, although it's not available for /user namespace, so you can create

groupa/subgroup/repo groupa/subgroup/subgroup/subgroup/etc/repo

https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/group/subgroups/

This feature is available for free on GitLab.com and is available for free in self-hosted GitLab CE

Hi there, those features are all available for free for public projects, it's only for private projects where we limit some functionality.

Thank you for the kind words, we've been working hard on improving the UI (have you tried the latest update in https://gitlab.com/profile/preferences#new-navigation) and have tried to make our free offering as valuable as possible as well as treating our existing free customers respectfully.

As Gitter was originally built as closed source with a team of people working exclusively on Gitter, this has never really been a problem for us.

This is very much v1 of the setup/instructions and would be delighted to improve them with any MRs or contributions. We'll certainly improve them ourselves over time as we get more people in less controlled environments adopting the project.

We've edited the description of the project now that has a simple explanation and a link to Gitter. Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!

Gitter has had an IRC bridge since pretty much day 1. This allows you to connect to Gitter via any IRC client.

We're actually completely overhauling the GitLab's UI https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/32794
