that's what i thought too. A lot of people probably won't even sign up to test it after seeing the screenshots. It looks more like a functional prototype "designed" by a programmer...
To be fair the overall look and feel is not that bad, it's just a regular case of programmer colors, which is easy to fix.
There will be an option for color schemes in a future release. This is just phase 1 of many.
I'm afraid that you should have waited a phase or two before posting this on HN. I wonder if users will ever see your next phase. A tip for the future would be to better consider your moment of first introduction. All of the comments in this thread could easily be made by no more than 10 people outside your everyday test environment. Think about family, friends, neighbouring companies who haven't seen the product yet, etc. Just 10 and you might have altered your first introduction from not so much (except info) into a success.
Beauty is subjective. Though, I wouldn't consider this elegant as it feels more styleless than stylish.
