Ugh. GitHub's UX has been getting so much worse over time. :( :( :(
They even completely break super basic things that used to work fine.
For example, if you want the direct download url of (say) an image file in your repo you used to be able to hover over the "Download raw file" button and the status bar would show you the url.
But no, no any more. It's now some kind of javascript button bullshit and there's no way to get it to show the actual download url. Clicking it at least downloads the file, but the history entry is messed up "blob:..." and also doesn't show the download url (using Firefox).
Because at GitHub they clearly can't leave alone the things that actually work, and need to change things just for the sake of change. Seriously not impressed. :( :( :(
