alt Hacker NewsI thought this was an unhinged parody of a design site, kinda surprised it's a real thing. Unfortunately the design isn't for me, things look off center and the overall "weight" of components feels off.

I hate to pile on since it's already getting some criticism, but I agree. It's kind of a good example why designers don't purely rely on mathematically consistent designs. Getting things to "look right" often means shifting pixels here and there ever so slightly, so that the math is a bit off but it feels better on the eyes.

I had the same thought: everything looks off.

Agreed. I’ve spent considerable time on scale-based design, and 1.618 always feels too large of an interval.

100 agree, I was like "this does look better" then realised I was saying it for the before in every example.
