Codename: Obtvse

Edit: If you're talking about the changed version this morning, check out the screenshots at the bottom to see what dcurtis was mad about.

Basic layout? Also the color scheme, font hierarchy, whitespace around elements (which is a critical portion of the design), and basically every trick dcurtis used to draw the eye and maintain the mental flow of the app.

As far as whitespace/color goes, both apps look similar (at least to my non-designer eyes) to Byword and Textroom:

The fonts are not the same the relative font sizes are a bit different (Dustin's has bigger text).

I willingly admit that, not being a designer, I may well have miss the subtlety in the basic layout that is important. Is there really that much in the column sizing?

With that said; you are right about font/colors (I hadn't noticed).

I give credit to Nate for taking steps to address those similarities following feedback, and I hope he goes further with that.

The fonts were never the same, I'm using a the Lato font from Google Web Fonts: http://www.google.com/webfonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Lato
