Ask HN: Link to earlier post on visual design for hackers?

A few weeks back there was an article submitted on here by a guy who had a book-related app that he had been working on and had given it a substantial facelift with a few simple changes. I've spent the better part of the last half hour searching Evernote, Instapaper and Google to try and find the article, but to no avail. Does anyone on here recall the article and/or link?
