We hired a designer. We're not frontend devs, but do have people who have some experience with this.

Some of this is stuff we know, and are tweaking. As the blog post about this says, this is a beta, and we have a lot more work to do. For example, the calendar thing: it's temporary. It's not trivial to style. There's been zero optimization work, which is a lot of what your comment is about. We didn't want to invest in that until we got the big picture stuff down.
