Nice idea and design. Along with what other people have said, though, turn off all the js animations. They make it nigh impossible to quickly asses content and actionable items, requiring that a person sit and stare for longer than needed without getting any new or useful information. The design is nice on its own; it doesn't need to be dressed up more, and if you feel it does than that's a sign that you don't like the design and should change that instead. Just my opinion.
