Ask HN: How to learn design as a hacker?

I'm a full stack web dev and hacker by heart. However, all my front-end designs just can't compete with anything delivered by a (semi-)professional designer. Are there any CodeAcademy-like resources that provide actionable advice on how to do better UI design? I'm getting tired of hiring freelancers.

I tried hackdesign.org, but figured it was way too high-level and since it's only a blob of links to blog-posts it didn't create any continious learning experience for me. I'm looking for resources that help me with practical problems like whitespace/margins, color schemes, font-sizes etc...
