John Doe (johndoe1337) When I tried to see my profile while logged-out to learn what visitors seeing when they come to my profile, I see that this site has serious design problems. This picture summarizes the most issues: https://i.imgur.com/RWXtgUm.jpg

It's funny that a visitor sees "want to read" button on my read books, it's more like "this user wants to read".

Bookshelves are not aligned properly, it looks like an amateur web designer's job. Also, names are ugly too, spaces are hyphens, and "Current" would be better than "currently-reading", I mean we should be able to edit the names of them.

Look at the unnecessary spaces on the sidebar "Favourite Genres"

Font-size is too small.

And finally, the feed is like a soup, there are no sidebars. All the important elements are located in middle feed, an example: at the very bottom, there are groups I joined, It would better if it was located in sidebars.

Herman Fassett (hermanfassett) | 1 comments Yeah it ain't perfect. I've also noticed and been annoyed with the upper right buttons sometimes being dropdowns on hover and sometimes acting like just links. :/
And don't mention the api
