I think the design is great. Simple and easy to read.

I'm not quite sure why they went with the borked "half the screen is empty" look. Ok, it's easier to read, but that negative space is bad design, regardless.

I found the design to be very intuitive even though I'd never encountered that type of information flow before. The curly braces didn't seem to serve any purpose as far as I could tell, but the negative space was great. I knew exactly where the content was going to pop up before I clicked the "link". No jarring resize, just plain ole empty space not taking your attention away from the main content until you want see content in there.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. I found it to be confusing and painful
