GitHub's Counting Bugs: PRs and Org Pages

Hacker News •

In the past week, I’ve noticed two pretty severe UI bugs in GitHub. The first is an overcounting of PRs in the tab on a repository, particularly common after you merge a PR, but not the only trigger. To add insult to injury, the right count is right there on the page.

The second occurred while setting up Sentry. I’ve used GitHub for 11 years, so I have three pages of org memberships. The project I’m setting up Sentry for is on the second page. Chrome doesn’t let you modify the address in the bar for these pop-up windows. Luckily, you can force navigate using JavaScript.

Really curious as to what’s going on over there—if you’ve got any insight, let me know!
