New GitHub layout is less accessible

14 pointsby DreamScatteralmost 5 years ago
The new web design layout on GitHub is awful and has less accessibility.<p>For example, the repository languages used to be at the top center of the page, while now I need to scroll past the bottom of the screen and find the information off centered in an awkward place.<p>The stars and other top bar links are off centered in an awkward way for the mouse and the eyes. Also, the profile tabs are less accessible because followers are now on the other side of the screen instead of in the convenient tab location.<p>Please contact GitHub with your feedback if you also think it&#x27;s less accessible design.

I imagine some are going to be displeased by the layout changes but I&#x27;m not convinced it&#x27;s less accessible. I found it to be easier to navigate than the old layout.<p>You say less accessibility, but is there any actual evidence behind this or is this your opinion? The argument you are making seems entirely based upon your opinion.

I like the style&#x2F;iconography change but I hate the full width layout for the header. On a 27&quot; screen you now have to look left for the tabs and all the way to the right to see number of stars. Before you could instantly see the count of issues&#x2F;stars to know popular a repository is by looking directly in the center of the screen, now information feels unnecessarily scattered.
