Refactoring UI vs Styleseed

s0xDk · Standalone skill

Tied at 3/5 on the same brief. Pick by fit: the rows below show where each one is stronger.

Both built the Tally landing page in the same Claude Code test, and both design the Minimalist way: white space, one accent, and the confidence to leave things out. Both are best for: design systems.

Styleseed3/5

Scroll either page; the other follows.

Refactoring UI gave Tally a careful, systematic look: Plus Jakarta Sans, an evergreen palette with green-tinted greys and proper spacing, type and shadow scales on the landing, and an indigo app on cool grey for the dashboard. Color is used for meaning, and over-budget states get an icon and a tag as well. It is clean and well built, though the two pages use different palettes. Pick it to tighten an interface rather than to set a brand.

Styleseed

3/5

StyleSeed gives Tally a warm blush canvas, Plus Jakarta Sans and a deep green primary, with a full token set behind it. It's clean, with slight distance from the baseline, and the dashboard in Manrope matches. It was the longest run in the batch. Pick it if you want a design-system workflow more than a bold look.
