Github: no link from the issues to the list of issues #31

Open timbl opened 9 years ago

timbl commented 9 years ago

If we are going to make a move to depend on github, then it is worth raising issues with github as issues on the document. A trivial one is that I can't see a link back from an issue to the list of issues. There are bigger ones.

So far GitHub have been very responsive to the issues we've raised, so we shouldn't hesitate. It doesn't need to be part of the document — it can be here. See for instance the most recent example: https://twitter.com/robinberjon/status/583637790597996544

The thing with returning to the list of issues has annoyed me too before. It's there though: you just click on the issues tab on the right and it returns you to the list. IMHO that's bad UI — I don't expect a raised tab to do anything when clicked; but at least it works.

If you have other issues with GH, do raise them. I'm sure they'll be happy to listen.

Wow! Why haven't I thought of asking you before? :-) It was one thing that irritated me, too...

any objection to close this issue?

While I also had found the solution that Robin noted, apparently the UI is not clear. When an object within a tab (e.g. an issue) has been opened (and thus the tab is no longer showing its list of objects), it's reasonable for the tab to add a 'back' indicator. This applies to other tabs (Pull requests, Projects) as well.

I'm not sure w3c/modern-tooling is the right place to raise issues about GitHub itself — especially minor ones about UX that don't block adoption, like this one.

Better to report at support@github.com / https://github.com/contact (official) or even dear-github/dear-github / isaacs/github (unofficial).

:+1: to close.
