Hi guys, here one of responsables for this interface, we didn't change it since January but seeing such threads make us want to add some improvements on the UI. Looks like working a bit more on the font readability could be a good start as it's something that came up several times.

FYI Here is our blogpost about this project[1].

@meeper what do you have in mind with 'recommandation system"?
