I suggest making the 'Demo' button more prominent! It's tiny and low contrast (white on light green).

Both 'View the code' and 'Download' are bigger. People could ostensibly want to view the code before seeing it but I can't imagine many would want to download without demoing first.

You are correct and I have adjusted accordingly, you can see the results immediately: http://getpinry.com/

Thanks, I had the same issue. Some other suggestions:

1. Perhaps try shortening the copy. The large buttons could just read:

Code (Github) | Demo

Either increase the text size or also shorten the copy on the smaller buttons to fix the resulting size offset:

Download (62kb) | BitBucket | Issues

2. Your "Follow @getpinry" is overlapping the "Tweet" button.

3. I find the grey borders superfluous and a bit heavy-handed. I think you could just remove them, replace them with shadows, or lighten them and tint them a bit blue so that they don't stand out so much.

Looks great, btw. Have been looking for a platform on which to share inspiration with co-workers inside corporate intranet.

Yep, these are all issues and it's just a starting place, I don't plan on the current design to stay the same very long. Just wanted to get this released. I'll keep your comments in mind for when I update it later.
