It is a valid concern though. It's very common to see technically genius projects, that don't get enough attention because their project landing page looks horrible. I kinda don't understand how people can be so skilled, and put so much effort to make a nice thing, and then completely skimp on the design.

E.g. here it wouldn't even take much. It's mostly just padding issues, and having sharp and rounded corners mixed, and maybe the color palette of the tasks could be improved.

I wouldn't call it skimping, maybe the author likes it or can't do better without paying somebody to do it.

I actually appreciate open source projects so much that I get angry when they lose out due to things like this.
