Changelog

Overview feed

Activities have been moved into Overviews to become a rich feed in dashboard, organization and repository pages. Similar to the issue page, this new feed offers a better reading by showing bodies for issues and comments.

Widgets have been moved to the right, being less invasive and easier to read.

Repositories list

All repositories lists have been improved. You can now sort them by Favorite, Open issues, Last activity or Stars, with asc or desc ordering.

Also, repositories items now display:

• Last release: Jumps to the related release page
• Issues count: Jumps to issues list filtered by Type: Issue
• Pull requests count: Jumps to issues list filtered by Type: Pull request
• Stargazers count: Jumps to GitHub stargazers page

Notifications control

Repository notifications settings have been reworked to make it more detailed and easier to control.

A dropdown at the top right allows you to select pre-made configurations:

• Engage: enables everything
• Watch: only enables mentions, new releases and activities on your subscribed issues
• Ignore: disables everything
• You can also freely select and deselect anything

Now by default, when a repository is imported, it will subscribe you as Engage so you won't miss anything important. Then feel free to adjust those settings later.

You will be able to customize your repositories notifications inside the organization page, and quickly choose which preset to apply.

In the last version, we've added failed CI notifications. For pull requests, you're only notified when you're subscribed. For repositories, you can now disable them with the New actions toggle.

Browser notifications

You can now be alerted of new inbox notifications thanks to browser notifications (notification permission must be allowed).

This can easily be enabled in your inbox or in the profile dropdown:

Issues sorting

Issues list can now be sorted asc or desc (default) from the sidebar by:

• Status (default)

This will group issues by status (Todo, In Progress, ...), move pull requests at the top of each status and then by date.

• Reactions

This will only use the sum of 👍 and 👎 reactions.

• Last activity

This will take into account the issue, the last comment or the last review dates.

CI Notifications

You will now receive a notification when a CI fails on your repository. If the failed workflow happened on the default branch, every maintainer will receive it. However, when it happens on a pull request, only maintainers subscribed to the pull request will be notified.

Mobile redesign

For the past few weeks, we've been working on improving the mobile experience.

You can already install the PWA on iOS and Android, if you haven't already, jump into Safari for iOS or Chrome for Android, browse to https://maintainers.app and add the application to your home screen.

To push things further, the application now gets a native look on mobile instead of just a classic responsive app:

• The notch on newest devices is now handled
• The landing page is now hidden thanks to a specific login page
• A Tab bar is available with quick access to dashboard, inbox, command menu, etc.
• A Navigation bar with quick actions and back menu
• An improved navigation with tabs inside the overview page and a quick switch in the header
• Lists that feels like you're browsing a native app

We really want to push the PWA technology forward, so stay tuned for upcoming releases with a redesigned Inbox on mobile and Push notifications

Popovers

When hovering an issue number in the activity page, you could see the title in a tooltip.

From now on, you can hover an issue number, a commit hash or a username anywhere in the application to have a preview in the popover:

Releases workflow

We improved the issues lifecycle by adding a new released status! ✨

When pushing a new tag on your GitHub repository, all done issues will automatically be associated to this tag.
Associating a tag to an issue will set the status to released and move it from the board to the Releases tab.

You can easily keep track of your released issues in the list view:

Last viewed

When opening the CMD+K search menu, you will now be able to see the last issues and new issues (drafts) you visited.

In Search and Filter modals, the section headers are now sticky so you don't lose yourself. Also, the global design of modals through the application has been improved, modals are now bigger and more centered.

Repository packages

On top of supporting NPM package.json, Maintainers now detects Yarn workspaces to list all of the repository packages.

In your repository settings (GitHub -> Packages), you can set the default package to display downloads in repository overview.

We plan to support other package manager in the future 🔮.

Issues list

Last week, triage and board issues tabs have been merged into one Issues tab. To further improve issue triage, new filters have been added to the list view in a right panel for a repository, an organization or for all your issues in the Dashboard.

This right panel allows you to quickly see stats on your issues and to directly filter on status, state, type, repository, organization and label.

Issues icon

Issues score has been completely removed from the application as the list and board views now have they own sorting.

Instead, an icon is displayed like on GitHub to inform you with the type (issue / pull request) and the state (open / closed / draft / merged):

Charts

Repository overview now has a chart with open issues and pull requests:

Overview

Finally, one of the missing piece we wanted for so long has arrived! The first thing you see when you login to Maintainers is the list of your repositories. We did something better, something useful.

Dashboard, organization, user and repository pages now have an overview!

This overview displays useful stats on the current page like number of activities, stars, downloads, ... But also adds shortcuts to your organizations, favorite repositories and online maintainers.

The best part are the new widgets that provide live informations on what you need to focus on. You will be able to see:

• Issues assigned to you
• Issues without a maintainer answer
• Pull requests you've been requested as a reviewer
• Pull requests created by bot (useful to merge renovate prs)
• Unread issues and pull requests
• Issues marked as bug
• Repositories with failing CI
• Repositories you haven't setup notifications yet

Widgets directly link either to /issues or /repositories pages filtered for the specific widget.

In the future, you will be able to configure which widget you want to see and maybe, make your own.

Issues

To improve user experience, Triage and Board tabs have been merged into one: Issues. You can now switch between list and board views with a button in the toolbar or with the ` shortcut.

The board behaviour hasn't changed much but the list view now includes all issues instead of only the ones in triage. Issues in list view are now sorted by status with pull requests at the top and then by priority score.

Fixes & Improvements

• General design has been improved on issues badges and tabs
• Tabs on dashboard, organization, user and repository pages are no longer saved
• Fixed an issue where markdown was not parsed and displayed nothing in issue and comment body
• Fixed an issue where markdown checkboxes were not processed with html character inside
• Releases without name now displays tag value instead
• Fixed new release notification displaying when accessing a cached ressource
• Tags created date is now correctly stored (⚠ You might need to resync your repositories in Settings -> GitHub -> Tags -> Sync tags)

Collaborators & Permissions

A few weeks back, organizations and repositories settings came out where you can manage the synchronization with GitHub. However, everybody in the team could launch a full re-import of the repository which can saturate GitHub's rate limit.

Only repositories members with admin and write role can see the GitHub settings page but only admin can sync the repository. For organizations, only admin can re-sync with GitHub and see outside collaborators.

Organizations outside collaborators are now imported which allows us to display organizations you are not a member of (but have access to a specific repository inside) in the header dropdown and improve the navigation.

Beta workflow

Since we launched the private beta, when logging in for the first time, users would be redirected to the beta page. There, you were able to apply public organizations only due to a limitation of GitHub API. This workflow has evolved:

From now on, to apply for the beta you just have to install our GitHub app. The beta page only displays authorized organizations. When an organization or a user is approved, the installed repositories will be automatically imported into Maintainers. At the time you receive the approval email, you can visit your Dashboard and see your repositories.

Performances & Speed

Through the use of Service Workers, API calls are now cached to improve speed.

Intensive work like processing markdown with remark or indexing data with fuse has been moved to web workers to offload the main thread.

Fixes & Improvements

• Issue reference link can be copied by clicking on the number in the issue page right panel
• A quick archive button has been added in the board on hover for closed issues
• Videos in markdown are not forced in full width anymore
• Markdown links now correctly displays in blue on dark mode

Notifications

Notifications have been entirely reworked to provide fine-grained control on what users receive in their inbox.

In order to achieve this, a new Notifications page has appeared inside repository settings where you can select what type of notifications you want:

• Mentions on issue, pull request, comment, review or release
• New issues
• New pull requests
• New releases
• New activity on subscribed issues and pull requests.

For each type, you can choose to receive notifications from maintainers only, from everyone or to not receive any.

You will only receive notifications from new activity on issues and pull requests when you're subscribed. On the issue page, in the activity section, a new dropdown has been added to choose issue subscribers:

You will be automatically subscribed when you open an issue / pull request, you post a comment, you review a pull request, you're assigned or requested as a reviewer.

Still in the repository Notifications settings page, at the bottom, you will find all the issues you're subscribed to with a button to quickly unsubscribe.

Another Notifications page has also been added in the organization settings where you will find the repositories you're watching and also, a quick unsubscribe.

Some new notifications have been added for issues and pull requests activity:

• Archived / Unarchived => An issue has been archived / unarchived
• Locked / Unlocked => An issue has been locked / unlocked
• Transferred => An issue has been transferred to another repository
• Subscribed => Someone subscribed you to an issue / pull request

Mentions notifications now works inside comment, review, issue / pull request body and release body. Also, if you made a typo and edit the body to mention someone, a notification will be sent.

When importing a repository for the first time, every user who commented, created issues, ... will be automatically subscribed. Also, after an import is done, every maintainer will receive an Imported notification with a link to configure notifications.

Fixes & Improvements

• When pressing enter in markdown editor lists, a new entry is added
• Todo lists in editor now have a space when using the action button
• Organization dropdown now correctly displays when user has only his profile
• Highest rated comment is no longer displayed in pull requests

The markdown editor now gives you the ability to write markdown directly from the toolbar. You can make your text bold, italic, create lists, mention a user or an issue, ... All of this with shortcuts!

Feedback

The Help modal now gives you access to a feedback form.

Feel free to report bugs, give us feedback or any ideas.

Fixes & Improvements

Settings

Organization and Repository pages now have a Settings tab.

For now, the first sub-page is for GitHub synchronization. In Organization, you will find the imported collaborators and a button to resync the whole organization. In Repository, a detailed view of all the entities imported from GitHub is present with the ability to make partial synchronizations.

Branding

Maintainers gets a fresh new look with its redesigned landing page and a gradient logo.

Fixes & Improvements

Private Beta

From now on, Maintainers is in private beta, therefore no longer password protected.

By logging in with GitHub, you can now signup you're organizations to the private beta. Once approved, you'll be able to install the GitHub app and use Maintainers with the selected repositories.

Navigation

Maintainers navigation has been entirely reworked. The sidebar disappears to make way for selectors on organizations and favorite repositories.

Furthermore, the user page has been improved and now handles organizations. Like the Dashboard, you'll find an Overview tab with the repositories, a Triage / Board tabs with all the issues from those repositories and an Activity tab.

Improved UI

In the past months we added lots of new features into Maintainers, making the UI inconsistent.

It was time for a change:

Sidebar

The sidebar has been restructured to display on the left the quick actions (search, inbox and help) + the profile dropdown and on the right the favorite repositories and the organizations with its repositories when selected. You can now favorite / unfavorite repositories directly from the sidebar.

The Maintainers logo now links to the Dashboard (which removes the selected organization). On top of the repositories, there is either the global Dashboard or the selected organization which links to the according Dashboard.

Content

The header in the main content now have the name on the left, the tabs at the middle and the actions on the right. The back navigation ← has been improved and is now global so you can go back in time since you loaded the app.

On listing pages, the toolbar containing the filters and the actions is now bottom fixed.

On the issue page, the toolbar has been removed and the actions (reactions, edit, archive, ...) are now accessible next to the title. When creating or editing an issue, the actions to preview or save are at the bottom under the content. When editing, the right actions panel is now blurred and disabled since they are instant updates and independant from the save.

Also, the repository badge score has been removed everywhere.

Performances & Stability

Alongside the big UI refactor, we spent the last two weeks improving the performances of the application. API calls have been optimized to return only the data needed and repositories with stats are no longer fetched by default but only in the dashboard overview.

As the project matures and the beta release date approaches, we had to ensure the stability of the platform. This is why we started testing our API, after two weeks we went from no tests to 75% of coverage. There is still a lot of work to have a fully tested API, but this is a requirement before opening the application to the public.

Dashboard

Repos, Triage and Board pages have been gathered into into a new Dashboard section.

More updates will be coming soon, making the overview of your repositories quicker and more efficient.

Board cancelled list

Since closed issues don't disappear anymore from the board, a new Cancelled list has been added. This is introduced to contain all issues/PRs that cannot be considered as successfully ended. Any aborted issues or refused pull requests can go to the Cancelled list instead of being put back into Triage.

Cancelled acts the same as Done. Any issue/PR moved to Cancelled will automatically be closed on GitHub and moving it out of Cancelled will reopen it as well. Obviously moving cards from Done to Cancelled and vice-versa won't affect the issue/PR state.

Fixes & Improvements

• An approved review
• A request changes review
• A dismissed review

The right side of the issue page has been improved to offer a better view. Reviewers are now mixed with reviews to display the current state.

Board

Pull requests not linked to an issue can now have a status and be seen on the board. Also, those pull requests now automatically move to In Review when a reviewer is attached, and to Done when merged.

Issues now only move to Done when all the linked pull requests are merged.

Issues and pull requests no longer disappear from the board when closed.

In the next release, you will be able to move issues to a Cancelled list since closed ones don't disappear anymore.

Reactions

You can now react to an issue or comment directly from the app, by clicking on an existing reaction or by opening the emojis choice menu next to the reactions.

Global reactions design has been improved.

Reactions

Reactions are now imported from GitHub and displayed on issues and comments. Those reactions are very useful in order to compute the issues scores and to display the highest rated comment of an issue.

Indeed, when an issue has comments with positive reactions, the most useful comment will now be displayed under the issue body next to linked pull requests. This item is clickable to jump directly to the highlighted comment.
