GitHub has pushed their new notification UI to everyone. I for one hate it. I don't like having to click a checkbox then the "Done" button (which is terrible naming for what is essentially "mark as read"). I don't have any idea what the new icons mean. The new layout is not easy to scan. I liked having notifications grouped by repo. This is now a cluttered email inbox.<p>What are your thoughts?
I don't like it one bit. I'm going to switch to reading my github notifications through email. Not because email is any good, but because this new UI is even worse.<p>As for the "Done" button, I'm still confused. It's distinct from "mask as read" -- that is a separate option still available under the dropdown. So what's the difference between that and "done?" I have no idea. Maybe it marks the related issue/PR as permanently done so I'll never receive a notification for it again? Again -- no idea.
I share that sentiment. I don’t understand what they were aiming for, but it is certainly not user friendly. There are too many steps involved to dismiss it.
