It's a shame the latest repo overview UI changes removed so many useful features like custom repo icons, last updated date, sorting etc.

Ben (Bitbucket PM) has posted an update on the dashboard issue:

> We're working on an update that will allow you to sort by last modified and generally make the dashboard more flexible. I'll post updates here as I have them.

I can't comment on specific timelines, but it's definitely under way!

Thanks for the feedback. We've been listening. Expect to hear from us soon.

I sure hope the Sourcetree team is listening, too. The new UI design in Sourcetree Windows 1.8 is absurd. Currently 50 comments in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-4306, all negative, and at least 15 duplicate issues. Mind-boggling that the design team would think that this was a good idea, particularly after MS got hammered for removing all the color from Visual Studio.

And since I immediately reverted back to 1.6, I didn't even realize that people were seeing other issues with performance, or that the new account management was a pain.

no diff between version.

takes 4-5 clicks to go to source code view of a branch (1 click in github)

I just went to one of my repos on Bitbucket, and it only took me one click to get to the source for master and then another click to get to the source for another branch.

You can also set up a project so the source is shown by default on the "landing page" instead of the overview.

Edit: slight re-wording

this is the exact bug I'm talking about - https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/7828/add-direct-lin... or https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/3876/go-to-source-f...

and this - https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/4779/ability-to-dif...

How do you add votes to an issue?

Welp, good luck to them in beating GitHub, haha.

Edit: the answer is to use JIRA, since they are reasonably well integrated in the on-prem solutions. For their site, no idea.

If you're logged in, there's a "Vote for this issue" link next to the number of votes in the info box at the top of the issue. (The UI will strongly discourage "+1" comments unless they have something else to say.)
