I’d like to make “my activity” the default view for logged-in users, and “all commits” the default when logged out. (This is done by removing “home” from the menu).
These aren’t optimal for any particular person (e.g. I’d like to see all clangd changes), and people should consider creating a custom dashboard if you use phabricator heavily. But I think they’re reasonable defaults and a step up from what we have now.
Let me know what you think, especially if you prefer the status quo for some specific reason.
If people are generally positive, I’ll change this next week. We can easily roll back.
Don’t mind either way - I don’t personally ever use the home page (but perhaps if it showed me my things, and as you say, sorted by how recently they were touched, I might find it worth using). I go to phab from review mails sent to the mailing list.
The default homepage in phabricator leaves some things to be desired IMO:
- having changes sorted by *creation time* rather than *update time* is a fun way to lose track of things
- the LLVM-wide activity feed seems not that useful (though fun)
- as soon as a change lands, it becomes fairly hard to find
Fortunately phabricator is pretty customizable. I've added a couple of views to the main menu:
- My activity: Empty is (active reviews, recent commits) x (i'm reviewer, i'm author). Only visible when logged in.
- All commits: All commits is the firehose

FWIW, I just compared your "My activity" view with the default home page, and it does seem more useful. (I also tend not to use the home page, but your rearrangement might perhaps change that.)

I agree this is a much better default view for logged in users.
I was originally using a dashboard similar to the one Sam created that included a panel with my subscription. Because that was a little too dense I’ve switched to using the default one and have a separate dashboard for subscriptions. I think it should be accessible to everyone: https://reviews.llvm.org/dashboard/view/28/
I added it as a menu item so it shows up as “Subscribed” under my activity in the left column.
