I have found few things to be bad about gitlab, and I am serious, not trolling:

1. When I am already logged in gitlab and I go to gitlab.com, it shows me the landing page and doesn't automatically show me the dashboard.

2. I do not get notifications from the projects that I follow, I get only the "todos". Either this, or I haven't figured out the notification part.

3.The UI is good, but it can have some improvements. I can not put my finger on it, but Github's UI/UX feels more approachable than Gitlab's.

Also, on the landing page itself if you can have a login form like Facebook does, it'll be a small but great change.

I'm pretty happy with gitlab too, but if i had to compare it with github i would go: - gitlab.com is neat but often has 5XX or is often pretty slow - doc is somewhat messy i rarely find what i'm looking for. - UI/UX get better but still confusing. - notifications are not clear and i often get what i don't want (my own things) and not what i want (what other did)

Thanks for the concrete feedback.

1. This shouldn't happen. Can you please create an issue?

2. What things would you like to see? We have an email on push that we can maybe extend.

3. We just hired a UX researcher but we're open to suggestions.

4. Should be solved with 1

1. where to raise issue?

2. I want to get notifications as in Facebook/Quora notifications or even github's would be fine

3.If you give me your email, I'll use gitlab and email you about concrete things, I can't yet put a finger to my abstract thoughts.

4. I want a login page in the home page itself, I do not want to be redirected to /login. This is not related to #1

1. I just went to GitLab.com and it showed me the app. What URL did you use?

3. Please email sarah@ company domain with a link to this comment. Thanks for helping

1. Probably I went to gitlab.org, I did not enter it, firefox cached it. Because now it redirected me to http://about.gitlab.com and it asked me to sign in.

3. I will send you the email later, one or two days. I am currently writing an intro book to VueJS. As soon as I finish it, I'll shoot you an email. (https://github.com/thewhitetulip/intro-to-vuejs/ only one chapter is written yet)

Does Gitlab conduct accessibility audits as part of releases?
