Huge thanks to DockYard for working on the design on this; it looks amazing! As an open source maintainer, one of the most valuable things people can contribute is great design.

I appreciate rubygems.org, I visit the site every other day. I think a simple and functional design works better than this one. This looks over-designed and gets in its own way. The colors don't go well together. The old design works better for me, I find it more accessible and functional. Just giving feedback as someone that cares a lot about rubygems.org.
