I clicked on the title of this post which links to gitlab repository page. And I was frustrated with the UI while trying to find out more about this project.
Clicking on the title brings you to the project page which shows the latest activity for that project. I can understand being frustrated as you most likely expected to land on a page with files and a readme. Clicking on the Repository tab will bring you to this view. Project owners have the option to make the repository view the default view. It looks as though this was not enabled on this project.
