&gt; We&#x27;re working to improve the GitLab UX, anything you would like to see?<p>The issue with GitLab&#x27;s UX right now, is there is a lot of little things, which adds up to big things.  This is expected since UX is hard and if you look at GitHub&#x27;s interface from 5 years ago, they (GitHub) would probably feel embarrassed by some of the things that they have done.<p>For things to improve, you need a lot of feedback&#x2F;iterations and I won&#x27;t be surprised if GitHub&#x27;s UX evolution was the result of strong feedback from designers outside of GitHub.  By being the first movers, GitHub was able to attract everybody, which included designers.<p>GitLab right now is not attractive for designers.  To overcome this, I would personally put some resources into showcasing how you can tweak GitLab&#x27;s CSS without having to dig into Ruby or JavaScript or anything else.  And if it is not easy to do, design GitLab so it is.<p>Right now the fonts in GitLab really bug me, and I want to use the font that GitHub is using.  GitHub has really nailed fonts among other things.<p>If there was a simple way for people to tweak GitLab&#x27;s UX without having to understand anything else, I can see it drawing in a lot more people and creating a lot more feedback.  Also create a way for people to showcase their tweaks.  I&#x27;m sure 90% of them will be crap, but that 10% can make all the difference in the world.<p>I might be over analyzing things, but I think GitLab&#x27;s desire to be no longer called a &quot;GitHub clone&quot; is creating too many poor design decisions.  The recent move to put the search icon in the middle of the search text field is an example of this.  I&#x27;m pretty sure designers at Google, Twitter, Microsoft, etc. played around with the icon placement and found that putting it in the middle was not a good idea.  If it was a good idea, we would have seen more sites&#x2F;products adopt this.<p>So to make the long story short, to improve your UX situation, make it insanely easy for designers to tweak things and to share&#x2F;showcase their tweaks.
