GitHub may not be perfect, but they are clearly doing something right to win (or re-win?) the affection of the community.
Github gets on the front with re-ordering issues ;)
Funny how any stream of notifications just turns into a todo list though. I wish I could just pipe them all to one place and have the changes actually committed back to the source. It'd be great to collaborate where some people use Asana, some people use Trello, and some people just use textfiles but they're all in sync and it doesn't matter where or how you make edits.
You used to be able to do this ages ago. Reordering was one of the features that "no one used" and didn't make the cut when they rewrote "Issues 2.0" five years ago:
The one thing I am dying for is the ability to mark notifications unread. Notifications are a wonderful interface to catch up on things where you're mentioned or needed, but there is no way to mark them as unread, so you have to deal with them right that second.
BTW We're working on ordering issues as part of an issue board https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/17907
Can someone from GitHub explain why they removed it a few years ago [1], and why they changed their mind and added it back today?

You may think it's trivial and doesn't deserve the front page, but many people do. Clearly.
