Bold white text on the left reads: "NEW RELEASE," followed by the headline, "GitHub Mobile: Comment on unchanged lines in pull request files." On the right, a smartphone screen displays the GitHub Mobile app interface showing a "Files changed" view. A user named "alcere" has left a comment on lines of code that reads, "The test cases are clear. Let's remove the comments from all the test cases here." Below the comment are "Reply" and "Resolve" buttons. The background is a dark gradient with a subtle green grid pattern.
