Everything has been getting worse since the React rewrite(s). Everything is just so much more slower and janky. And things like the "back button" keep acting weird (I reported this several times, after a long delay they fixed it several times, and it just keeps breaking a few weeks later – I've given up).

Some of the design decisions are also just baffling, like having "New Issue" in a small modal instead of just a full-screen page (only if you have templates set for some reason). Having less than half the screen being used is not helpful, and only going to reduce the quality of reported issues because it's just shit UX. Baffling. I genuinely wonder if the people designing/building this have ever used GitHub themselves (they reverted some of the other misguided "how on earth did you think that was a good idea?!" features, but not this one).

I have so many more gripes and bugs; clicking "show raw" generally works better for viewing code (or just cloning locally). It's just embarrassing. But it's all pointless to report because nothing gets fixed and it all just keeps getting worse.

GitLab was a "GitHub clone", but I guess now GitHub is turning in a "GitLab clone" by making everything a slow janky barely working mess.

Ah, good, so it's not just me, then. It's become unpredictable how many steps the back button will take you on GitHub. Or sometimes it'll just take you to a broken, perpetually-loading page. These used to be solved problems on the web.

It breaks so often in SPAs. Turns out that making the client-side code responsible for routing leads to a ton of fragility.
