With a name like "Golem", I could see a more earthy color scheme with a much more subtle (essentially unnoticeable) use of gradients feeling real nice with this product.

Hey! Woah! Actually, this might seem dumb, but we did not think of that!

After the rollercoaster of what this post have been, I can guarantee you that we will indeed consider this very seriously.

Check the website in a few weeks, I would hope that by them we have had enough time to intake all the feedback from this post, specially from this comment.

:)

Thanks

haha! Fair point! We are three old school programmers and have no idea on design, so yes for the website ONLY, we let Claude designed for us...

If any designers come over to the comment section, we would love to hear from you! We'd love to improve our website with your advice.

On the other hand, the code, we started coding this more than one year ago and we have poured our souls on it.

If you can bare the AI obvious styling front page, I think you would like the framework

There are lots of skills available that enhance Claude's design capability, eg:

https://impeccable.style/

Oh my god! Thanks so much! We are studying this immediately.

My main advice would be to get rid of anything extraneous in the site.

Animations should serve a purpose - for example, gamifying with a fireworks animation is useful if you think that communicates what you want about the product.

Engineers know that rainbow borders on boxes are tricksy to implement but a cinch for agents. So rainbow borders are a loud way to say “we didn’t pay close attention to what we were building when we built this” - or to be a bit more kind, “we shipped our first draft”.

It’s just like reading code. Why would you want any distractions?

THANKS!

Well, we are very experienced developers, which is code for.. we are old... Old as from the time where websites had banners moving across the page, so that might have influenced our choices.

But these suggestions are gold to us as we have no expertise on design, so thanks AGAIN

You’re welcome! Happy that it was helpful and not tooooo unkind..

Design can tickle different bits of your brain compared to code! Quite often I can’t pin down and name just what’s wrong (those with the vocab can, of course)

But if you can describe the feeling in the back of your mind to an agent you’re golden.

the feedback is actionable. Fix the styling. It looks awful, like it was made by a middle school student or something

i have the same sentiment.

upon opening the site, I immediately got vibed feeling so I closed the tab.

Thanks! We are definitely learning from this post about things to do, is by far not our strong side

You should absolutely do that! If a library can't even be arsed to present itself in a reasonable way, how can you possibly trust it to do real work well?

And to be clear, I have a public website created (and designed) by Claude. But the key difference is that I used my brain, and iterated with Claude to make the style not look like AI slop.

Like anything with AI, you can't just fire off a prompt and expect a good anything (code, design, whatever). You have to put effort in ... and all signs show the people behind this library aren't.

Because the two sets of skills aren't related. Library and design work are not the same thing. That's why
