I like what they're trying to do, but there's something about the design/layout that bothers me. Also, I think the icon placement in the toolbar is a little awkward/out of place.

[noazark → _optl]

I agree. Although, it looks like they're going for something bigger here. My guess is that there will be a number of changes to both the navigation and the layout of the page.

[_optl → noazark]

I hope so. Just look at how many toolbars/buttons there are on any given repository page: https://github.com/django/django

In my opinion, they need to simplify their layout

[timdorr → _optl]

It's mainly because you have a bunch of text menu items and then this icon mixed in there. I'm curious why it's not under Graphs, since that's what it's most closely related to.

[gtaylor → _optl]

Agreed. I was thinking it was under graphs until I saw the image.

I like the design, but I think it could do with three improvements;

1) Allow for greater time ranges than 1 Month, as some of the projects I work on only have a couple of commits a month.

2) Allow us to change the bar graph to show other things, as well as commits per user.

3) A more important "pulse" would be time from open of a commit, to close. Rather than just the number opened / closed.

re #1: https://github.com/rails/rails/pulse/yearly (yearly works, it's just not present in the menu)

I love how nobody at GitHub considered the possibility that a project might not use GitHubs issue tracker - any project not using it will still have the stats displayed with links to the open/closed issue that result in an immediate 404.

Does anybody know if there's a way to get view like the one in the mobile (Android) app, recent discussion entries, closed or updated bugs, etc. in the web version?
