Not sure if there was a change to the font but new design is really hard on my eyes.

What it looks like is we went from having a busy page to having a busy unreadable page.

You need to scrap that background. Without the boxes, it has really brought the contrast down and we need these grey fonts bumped up.

Here's just me killing the BG

  • lose the background
  • bump up the contrast on whats left
  • fix the font.

One tiny change we've just delivered is adding subtle divider between each section in sidebar. That should help differentiate them, at least a little bit. Still no boxes, but the current plan is to bring them back at some point but in slightly different form. So why no boxes right now? We had to do some cleanups first 🤷‍♂️ so it's like intermediate step.

tl;dr: we've just added subtle divider between sections in sidebar. it doesn't fix what you're talking about but it's step forward. we're planning bringing some different style for boxes though but we had to first kill them to clean up few things.

This is really good feedback! Thanks a lot! Yea, we gonna ship some improvements in a day or two with other fixes as well. Improving contrast will be probably one of these fixes!

Once again, I really appreciate the feedback! That’s exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for!
