GitHub New pull request overview page in public preview

What HN thinks

GitHub rearranged the furniture while the house's plumbing (merge queue, Actions, load times) keeps leaking.

Fix reliability and speed first
Many say the redesign is cosmetic while merge queues, Actions scheduling, slow PR pages, sidebar navigation and the inbox remain broken.
Code review itself is the bottleneck
With agents flooding repos with PRs, commenters argue review tooling needs real innovation like semantic diffs, hunk checkpoints, diagrams, or a rethink of the PR process altogether.
Modest but welcome improvement
Some like having status checks and the merge button at the top and a less cluttered feed, while others find it too many clicks or barely different.

Consensus: Most agree the new overview is a minor layout change that doesn't address GitHub's deeper PR review and stability problems.

Recommended in the comments

Graphite (service): Its single-page PR review layout is seen as far better organized than GitHub's.
CodeApprove ↗ (service): Offers a dense, keyboard-driven, single-page review experience.
trunk.io (service): Replaced GitHub's flaky merge queue and cut queue entry times dramatically.
Gerrit (tool): Missed by commenters as a better review workflow.
code-walk ↗ (tool): Presents large diffs more sanely for reviewers.
Gitea (tool): One team migrated to it to escape GitHub entirely.
