Ask HN: Has GitHub's web UI gotten tremendously slow or is it just me?

Welcome to responsive design!

It's pretty slow yes. It's one of the worst RAM eaters and has been feeling very sluggish for a long time.

Yes I noticed today that scrolling a syntax-highlighted file was by far the worst it's ever been. I also noticed that typing a search query into the bar at the top of the page could not even keep up with typing speed.

Not sure about the March timeframe - for me it seems like the site went off a cliff in the last week or two.

Ha, try Gitlabs UI then talk me me …

And browser back button typically doesn't work either, immediately putting you in this weird webpage <> URL mismatched state.
