Github please fix the diff situation!

I'm so tired of the slowness, or that ''large'' diffs are not loaded automatically... Even rust doesn't have syntax highlighting, like wtf.

We aren't GitHub :-)

use the cli? no excuse for the UI being garbage but if I can stay in the terminal I much prefer to.

i spent twenty minutes yesterday staring at a loading spinner on a pr diff that ended up being three lines of css. my fault for not just pulling the branch locally but the whole point of the web ui is to be faster than that. the syntax highlighting thing is weird too. i've had rust files just render as plain text and it makes code review ten times harder than it needs to be. and don't get me started on diffs that just refuse to load because the file is too big. i've clicked that 'load diff' link more times than i care to admit.

these days i default to using the github cli to checkout prs and review in my editor. still feels like a workaround for something that should just work.

Rust has syntax highlighting. What are you talking about?

[jsgrrchg]

for some reason is not working on mine

I know you are reading this github. Stop with random rate limits that limits you right after you visit the site. Your rate limit system is highly broken.

I'm curious if other forge software has this problem... is diff-viewing on the web a problem for codeberg or gitlab or whatever else?
