Better progress feedback during async operations

4 votes

The lack of feedback on long operations is easily the biggest gripe we have about GitKraken. It's routine that GitKraken is gone for 30 seconds to a minute, especially using Git LFS, where there's no feedback that a background operation is in progress, besides the push/pull buttons being grayed out.

GitKraken needs better async feedback across the board. I have many times ended up force-quitting GitKraken because I didn't know if it had crashed. And sometimes, it has indeed crashed, which is only clear after 5 minutes of waiting for it to come back.

It's objectively bad UI design to have long-running and *blocking* async operations with essentially no feedback. The only feedback you get is (A) a couple of buttons are grayed out, and (B) half the UI can't be clicked. That is objectively insufficient.

We're begging you to deal with this.
