Is there something that does this?
I've played with git town which is great for what it is.
But at $DAYJOB we are now all on graphite and that stacking is super neat. The web part is frustratingly slow, but they got stacking working really well.
we have a big effort in the works to improve web perf! where specifically are you seeing slowness in the app — what flows, what pages, etc?
Super glad to hear!
The worst offender is a slack notification[0] deep link into a PR I need to review.
It loads in stages, and the time from click to first diff is often so frustratingly long that I end up copying the PR ID and going to GitHub instead.
Sometimes I give up while Graphite is still loading and use the shortcut C-G to go to GitHub.
The second issue might be the landing page. I love what it shows compared to GitHub, but it's often slow to display loading blocks for things that haven’t even changed. Reloads are usually fast after that — until sometime later, maybe a day, when it slows down again.
I don't know why it feels worse than Linear, even though there are clearly many similarities in how it's supposed to load.
The guest instance isn’t so much about loading speed, but usage speed.
When I submit a stack of PRs, I get a nice carousel to fill in PR titles/descriptions and choose where to publish each PR. What’s missing for me there is access to files and diffs, so I can re-review before publishing. I often end up closing it and going back to the PR list instead.
[0] Thank God for those! You've made them much more useful than GitHub's. Also, the landing page is far more helpful in terms of what’s displayed.
