Well that's a great aspiration, but it is a hard one to deliver on. I am completely flummoxed by almost every element of the current page. (And not just this UI, but many others.) * Nothing says what the baseline is; your email specifically says that you have changed the baseline To take the first line of the "Branches" section * What does "2 days ago" mean? * What does "3 commit to cb300e" mean? * What does 276 mean * What does the little histogram mean? * What does 0+0- mean? I'm short, I'm lost. I need a little page with an example and explanations of each element.
