1. There is a link to a demo website, which is in fact in similar style.
2. I don't think the website is _nearly unreadable_.
3. Pretty rude remark.

#4I wish we could get back to a “mom and pop” software market. Itch.io feels like it’s doing a lot of work for indie software that used to just be everywhere and easy to stumble onto.

For me personally, the color scheme is uncomfortable to read. Dark text on a dark background

Idk man, I think it's pretty charming even if it's not exactly the design choice I'd have gone with.

try the demo. it’s an entirely different style, which shows how versatile the tool is

#8Kiki's themes can be edited to suit one's personal tastes. The theme .css files are about 120 lines long.

It is for sure readable, why so dramatic?

It still doesn't reflect the design philosophy at all, though. A wacky approximation of early MacOS that offers nonfunctional UI affordances doesn't fit my bill of No obscurantist programming languages and styles, or simple, maintainable software akin to machines that need to work under all circumstances in the far north.
I was also a little disappointed with the philosophy's goals in general, which seem to be mostly the personal preferences of a lone-wolf style open source developer, not a universal approach to software design.
