Thanks. It's funny about the chosen aesthetic - I had early builds and demos that were very "corpo sterile" and eventually I started going crazy with dynamic themes and openai generated backgrounds, just to keep my motivation up. Morphed into a cyberpunk-esque kind of vibe.

I had people tell me that it wasn't a good idea - will turn people off, etc - my thought was... "well, if people see you can do crazy stuff, then certainly a plain-jame white, black, and heather grey theme would be childs play, no?"

Eventually, I just decided to lean into it. As the kids say, "vibes".

I dig it! I always appreciate when software engineers put a little more creativity into their work, especially in UI. Modern UI design can be so hideously bland and samey.
