The GitLab documentation site gets a major design overhaul

New blog post on the GitLab blog by . Check it out here:

Yeah and it’s pretty awful.

Now full of useless whitespace on the sides and the actual content is word wrapped on many pages.

Seems no one actually paid attention to getting function right before form.

Thanks for your feedback. I’ve added it into Feedback: Docs site redesign + dark mode (#433) · Issues · GitLab.org / Technical Writing / GitLab Docs · GitLab

Many thanks. I don’t mean to be overly negative as I know many people put a lot of effort into it but I find it much harder to read.

An example I ran across the other day that exemplifies what I mean is the feature flag one- GitLab Runner feature flags | GitLab Docs

The actual env vars are word wrapped and the descriptions for some are word wrapped to 30+ lines.

Compare that to an archived version - GitLab Runner feature flags | GitLab and to me it seems way easier to view each env var and its description.

Thanks again for adding to the bug report.
