Fix various styles to improve clarity #358

Closed TJScalzo closed 4 years ago

This new redesign is looking very interesting and much simpler than the previous one. I noticed some inconsistencies in the way the links were currently styled and thought I'd give standardizing them a try.

I also made some other changes to fix more minor issues:

Ahh!!! Sorry, yeah, I've just been experimenting with some stuff and throwing ideas around... nothing I'm really in love with or want to run with entirely aside from the little name change :D. Ur right though, this one is definitely too simple... kinda leans on the boring side. I'll shoot you an email this weekend with a few ideas I've got, would love ur input 👯

No need to apologize! I just thought I’d show that I’m interested in helping with whatever redesign you end up going with.

I like the simplicity of this new design. Less colors and patterns gives more focus to the content. I like exposing more of the metadata, including tags with the categories. Perhaps a more subtle version of the generative triangles from the current design could be used to create a bit more variation?
