Our verdict

3/5 out of 5

Passed the cut

Pulse gives Tally a warm retro poster: cream and orange, 4px dark outlines with hard shadows, big Limelight headlines and circle, triangle and diamond shapes. The dashboard keeps the orange and amber blocks and springy hovers. It is bold and consistent, but the mobile landing scrolls sideways. Pick it for energetic consumer brands.

Pick it for

  • energetic consumer brands
  • campaign pages
  • food and lifestyle apps
  • playful dashboards

Skip it for

  • enterprise tools
  • calm brands
  • accessibility-first products

Observations

  1. the heavy orange makes everything loud, so priorities blur on the dashboard
  2. landing mobile: 411 px wide on a 390 px screen, so it scrolls sideways

Artistic (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

Artistic sets Tally as an Art Deco poster: Limelight display type, JetBrains Mono body text, navy and white sections and solid blue and violet blocks with hard offset shadows. The dashboard keeps the dark sidebar, thick outlines and big colored summary blocks. It has a real point of view, but the mobile dashboard scrolls sideways. Pick it for expressive, poster-like brands.

Neobrutalism (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

Neobrutalism puts Tally on warm off-white with thick navy borders, hard offset shadows and flat yellow and violet blocks. The landing has a CSS phone with sticker-like envelope cards; the dashboard uses a dotted background, yellow highlights on the date and summary cards, and a clean transactions table. It is bold but still easy to read on both pages. Pick it for playful products that want a confident, graphic look.

Pac-Man (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

Pac-Man turns Tally into an arcade cabinet: black screens, blue dotted maze borders, Press Start 2P headings and power-pellet yellow buttons. The hero is an arcade screen with envelope budgets as pellet bars, and on the dashboard a little Pac-Man chomps along each envelope while the over-budget one gets ghost styling. The theme is committed and still readable. Pick it for playful or gaming-adjacent brands.

Flat (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

Flat gives Tally solid color blocks with no shadows or gradients: Inter type, a bright tangerine, tinted feature cards and an orange "how it works" band. The dashboard uses a dark sidebar and one tangerine tile for "Left to budget", with a bright color per envelope. It is clean and cheerful. Pick it for friendly products that want a simple, flat look.
