Improvements to the home dashboard available in [Public preview feedback]

[justinbyo]

We're testing improvements to the content and layout of the home dashboard (github.com for logged in users), designed to enable users to understand the current status of their most important work and navigate to it quickly from a single view 🙌 . The default view of the home dashboard now shows a short, customizable list of pull requests and issues. The feed view is still available.

Note: This preview is enabled for a subset of users to start, and rolling out to more over time 📈 .

What's changed

• We created new My Work and Feed tabs.
• The My Work tab shows users their most-recently updated pull requests and issues, with filtering options to customize the lists.
• For pull requests the user has authored, actionable next steps are shown.
• The feed hasn't changed, but it's now behind the Feed tab. If you prefer the feed, your tab selection is persistent.

We want to hear from you

• What PR and issue filters make sense for your workflow?
• Is there any missing information or context in the issues and PR lists that you'd like to see? Why?
• What other modules or content would you like to see on the dashboard?
• Any bugs you find 🐞

[adamtaylor13]

Wow. THANK YOU. ❤️ This makes the home page usable! Seeing a list of public repositories and comments that people I follow make, has never made sense to me. I want my home page to be a list of actionable information that I can use to navigate the various organizations, issues, PRs, and projects that I'm involved with on a day-to-day basis and this looks like exactly what I've been wanting!

[justinbyo]

Thanks for the feedback! I have a couple follow up questions if you don't mind.

• When you say "organizations" what specifically are you referring to in your workflow? Are those project teams, repos, "GitHub Organizations"?
• Same question for the "projects" you mention – are these repos or actual "GitHub Projects"?

(GitHub uses a few specific in-product terms that can mean a few different things casually, so I want to double check)

[adamtaylor13]

Yeah, it's a smattering of all the above, I believe:

• I have personal repositories that are part of client projects. Seeing a subset of my personal repositories that I want to keep a close eye on (my clients' projects) would be really nice.
• I have GitHub organizations' repositories that I am responsible for, though I do not own that organization (fractional CTO stuff). For example, I belong to one organization in particular where there are 2 large projects that I bounce back and forth between a lot for issues, projects, and pull requests.
• Finally, yes, I also have a few proper GitHub Projects that are scattered between both of the aforementioned repositories, and a few in my personal repositories as well.

My dream would be to see a list of "Actionable Items" on my homepage. 90% of my GitHub workflow is hitting Cmd+T to open a new tab, typing "git", hitting "Enter" to go to github.com, and then immediately going to the inbox so I can see what needs my attention. Removing that navigation so I can see things that need my attention right on the home page would be very nice.

[enricoprazeres]

Very nice feature!

[justinbyo]

@adamtaylor13 this is super helpful, thanks. Would you mind if I reached out to you directly to learn more?

[adamtaylor13]

Please do! The email attached to my github profile is good for contacting me.

[superherointj]

Thank you for this change! The feed is distracting, useless.

[VictorMoni]

Thank you for the change! 😁👍

[AntonPalmqvist]

I don't mind having My Work there, but I'd like to be able to change the default to Feed.

[justinbyo]

Thanks for the feedback! If you switch to the Feed tab, that view should persist when you navigate away from the homepage and back.

[martin-eden]

I don't do pull requests.

Spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out where my news feed is gone. Even asked Copilot lol.

Can you make this tab secondary and news feed primary?

[t7ru]

Switching to the feeds tab saves it, though, so any time you go back home it should still be on the feeds tab

[martin-eden]

👍 Thanks for promptly change! I appreciate it.

[charlespowell1973]

How are you

[Alhakimou]

I am doing well and you?

[oAGoulart]

I do appreciate having a "priority" tab with Issues and PRs. But, I do not like how it is sandwiched between two navigation bars. If we have a My Work tab, shouldn't the left-side nav with "top repos" be its own tab? I'd think this would make navigating the dashboard less cluttered. IMHO.

[justinbyo]

Thanks for the feedback!

[paulocoutinhox]

I like the FEED first and now the MY WORK, because my work i already check/see by project that im working. When i go to my home, i only see the feed, not the project that im already working. It is redundant.

[justinbyo]

Would you mind if I reached out directly to learn more about your use case?

[ajayyAI]

It would be nice if the feed could be the default.

[Hkly]

If you switch to the Feed tab, that view should persist when you navigate away from the homepage and back.

[massimopaganigh]

I love the new homepage. I still feel that the feed alone is pretty useless for people who actively contribute to personal and non-personal repositories. It would be great to have a summary created by Copilot that highlights the latest updates to my work, such as summarising new comments on my pull requests and issues.

[justinbyo]

I'm curious to hear from other folks here how they would include some kind of Copilot summary. My team has experimented a little with this, but we didn't feel like we nailed it as users had diverse expectations around what was important to them to know.

Curious if you could tell me with a little more detail what "latest updates" you would want from Copilot?

Do you happen to have some examples of prompts or summarizations that you think works well?

[Alhakimou]

Pouvez envoyer lien de votre travaille?

[youssefadly237]

bro this is wild fr 🫡

[krzysztofkusmierczyk]

I prefer this over the previous feed.

[lferigutti]

Yes!! I was waiting for this since ages!!!

What PR and issue filters make sense for your workflow?
We should be able to choose if pr or filters, and maybe we can choose which repo we would like to see first. I have to "Open" work but it's a repo we do not use it anymore in the company.

Is there any missing information or context in the issues and PR lists that you'd like to see? Why?
We do not use github issues, so it is noice for us. And I would like to see which PR i am waiting feedback, which PR the a college needs me to do feedback.

What other modules or content would you like to see on the dashboard?
Maybe when colleges of my org do big events, like merge to main or so on, even if I am not related

Any bugs you find 🐞
I will let you know

Again, this is an amazing idea! I love it ❤️

[justinbyo]

Thanks for the feedback. To be clear, you want to remove or unsubscribe from certain repos in the PR list?

[xzuyn]

"My Work" tab is great.

[sohag47]

Nice

[ryukinix]

I would like to apply filters, such as displaying only pull requests or issues that are assigned to me, excluding those I have ONLY opened or interacted with. Additionally, controlling the time span would be interesting, as I have over five years of abandoned issues and projects that I prefer to disregard.

EDIT: Actually this is already implemented, but i need to remove the filter "involves me" to reflects properly what I want.

[justinbyo]

Thanks for the feedback. We're continuing to look at the filtering options, so this is helpful.

[lucas-larsson]

Love seeing my PRs as the first thing on the page, Huge thanks

[minhgearment]

This is what i needed very convenient thanks dev team for developing it.

Hi @noname7736, thanks for participating!

Unfortunately, we don’t currently have moderators for languages other than English. Until that changes, we need to ask that everyone use English here in the GitHub Community when posting to ensure discussions are adhering to our Code of Conduct.

[tbenning]

Woo, love to see it! Would be nice to filter out any PRs that are older than 6 months by default. I have a bunch showing up from random repos from years ago even. Else would be nice to be able to hide them individually. Both would solve the problem!

Nitpick: There's a bit too much spacing between the title and the description. row-gap: 0 should fix it.

Would also be nice to be able to click on the repo directly from the metadata description on the item itself. Always free for any user research / feedback 😛

[tbenning]

Would also be cool to see:

• PRs that I closed recently (last 7d)
• PRs that I commented on recently (last 7d)

[tbenning]

• PRs that I added commits to

[tommaso-moro]

I have been absolutely loving the new feed, awesome work!

I have just run into some teeny tiny UI things that I personally think could be improved:

1. Items on the right (icons, badges etc) are not vertically aligned which makes the UI look a bit off (specifically I think it's the comment icon that sits a bit higher than the surrounding text and icons)
2. I found the grey badge to be slightly confusing at times as it might look like a button (e.g. "Merge" sounds like a merge button, maybe "Can be merged" would be clearer? Just thinking out lout)

Just nits of course but thought I'd share! Thank you for this great new feed

[Hu9o73]

Awesome addition !

As said by others I'd love to set the feed as default, as well as choosing what projects/organizations I want to show on the "my work" tab !

[WardenDrew]

A pleasant surprise to see! Echoing others opinions here, being able to set some more complex and persistent filter combinations would be amazing!

[justinbyo]

Thanks everyone for the incredible feedback! I want to give everyone a heads up that we'll be turning off the public preview temporarily while we make some exciting updates which we think you'll like. Expect to hear more from us soon

[askpt]

I hope this will be back! It was such a great improvement from the feed!

[justinbyo]

Hey everyone! Based on your incredible feedback, we released a new version of the dashboard that brings back your most recent pull requests and issues, plus a few other improvements.

You can read more about it here and opt-in from Feature Preview by enabling New Dashboard Experience or from the "Try the new experience" link on the dashboard:

I encourage you to check it out and give us your feedback. As always, thanks for your feedback!

[softworkz]

Hello,

it's good that it's finally possible to disable all the spam.

But I'm still missing the most important thing: Commits

A significant amount of our workflow does not go throw PRs but gets directly pushed to repositories. I need to be able to see ALL pushes from others in our organization - reliably and complete.

The dashboard feed was perfect for this, but you broke it to show the same nonsensical spam ike on the starting page.

When or how can I get this single most important view back in action?

Thanks
