I tried to read the content but IMO there are too many memes, make the content unreadable.
That's a fair point. Thanks for the feedback!
...from a seriously ugly looking site.
My legacy app is uglier and I'm not the kind of expert to do tons better :P
Could you point me to your legacy app? I'd love to take a look. :)
It's internal, but I'll give you a rundown...

Tabbed MDI interface implemented in JS. Modal dialogs run everything. Almost all the application configuration state passes through the client, frequently, at full mutation risk. The developer UX is even worse.

The admin GUIs we replaced with CLIs were so bad that a concise CLI is preferred by non-technical staff. Use of common business parameters in the DSL (we just read DSL commands right out of argv) has been really intuitive for them.
Wow gotcha!! Thanks for explaining!
I disagree. I think it could use some improvements, but I like it overall.
What improvements would you like to see?
What makes the site ugly to you?
How boring.
What part is boring?
The content.
