I was looking at https://github.com/notifications when I accidentally pressed the mouse over the [unsubscribe] bell icon twice.<p>Did github show a confirmation dialog? Nope. It unsubscribed me from 2 random issues I'll never find again.<p>Is there any way to recall which issues it was? Not a chance.. Not unless you had the browser console open on the Network tab before you did your mistake.<p>I'm so fed up with Github's aging edgy cringekid javascript webdesign choices and their overridden CTRL+F search. Their site literally screams peak JavaScript/UX terrorism era of 2014-ish.<p>Its unproductive, you can never find the right button to navigate in commit/PR views compared to the absolutely intuitive alternatives. The 30% viewport width on gist/files on HiDPI 4K screens with a height viewport that looks like an embarrased accidentally shrunken wooly sweater on short files with low line-count is absolutely terrible.<p>Am I totally wrong about this being tasteless design? It it just me, who feels like Github feels like a time-capsule from the worst era of webdesign?
Your argument would be more persuasive if the rant at the end was left off.<p>"Accidental dismiss" bad UI syndrome plagues me also on my phone, I had a notification from some app and I smushed the screen with my thumb and swiped it off, I have no idea what it was. Just because I (accidentally) acknowledge something doesn't mean the computer should forget that it ever existed!<p>And about an hour ago, my laptop dinged twice and I have no idea what browser tab did that.<p>I wish <i>all</i> computer things came with operation logs and where feasible undo buttons. All the way to having perfect audit logs for running ops on cloud services.
