Thanks Arturo!

There was a 5px padding between the columns and 15px vertically.
Bumping the column padding to 10px indeed looks better.

Shrinking the icons and making the margin apply to them (rather than
just the description) looks a lot better so gonna move forward with
the icons for now.

Hmmm, just tried moving the icons there but didn't seem to work as
well imho. I can provide before/after screenshots if folks are curious
how this looks. Monochrome looked good on Atlas since it used a
consistent aesthetic. Not so sure about here though.

If the descriptions are very long they wrap below the photo so I'm
keeping description length below that. I realize I could use a clear
to avoid the wrap but I think having this limitation is a good thing
since it prevents anybody's description from becoming TL;DR.

Hmmm. Gave it a try but honestly not sure monochome onions looks better...

If folks want this though that's fine.

Oooh, that does look better. I had to scale up the trac icon to make
it work - svg export is a lot more crisp.

Yup, here it is.

Thanks for the suggestions Arturo!
