GitHub GitLab

I’m new to GitLab. Some feedbacks regarding to UI. I’m not a designer just my feedbacks.

GitLab’s UI has many things that competing for my attentions at first glance. The next badge. Many usage of bold fonts on not important things (subjective).

When we scroll down, GitLab’s top navbar stays:

GitHub’s top navbar hides so I can focus on reading the body:

GitHub has a nice community guideline reminder, but the irrelevant protip and inevitable footer links.
