Looks great, can't wait to see the demo, and the acknowledgement of entering an already crowded space. Personally I think many of the tools that are out there right now could very very easily be out-performed by an open source tool. I sometimes wonder if killing another company's revenue by creating an open-source tool (that is as-good or better, which you generally strive to) is moral/ethical... I know it's not bad,…

Open source isnt 'the enemy' that destroys value in existing software; if your software relies on being closed source (temporarily even) to maintain its competitive edge (eg. android) thats totally up to you. It can be effective.

...but if open source destroys an existing product, honestly, that product was going the way of the dinosaurs anyway.

Morally speaking, free software unencumbered by licenses, patents and other cruft contributes far more than it harms.

Trying to create a project on iOS gave me no love. Possibly this is related to the existing safari issue someone already mentioned.

We have a couple issues with Safari. One of them is related to the layout because Safari 7 has some issues with flexbox but it's already fixed in a branch and should be merged really soon. We also have an issue with this JS problem with Safari when creating a new project that we are reviewing. Thanks for your feedback. Everything should be working well with Firefox and Chrome if you want to create a project right now…

I'll try it out with chrome when I'm home. 😃

Taiga.io hit #1 on @HackerNewsYCBot for a while today (thanks HN!). Traffic up 100x. I was dumb enough to ask our developers if we could handle it. This is what they sent back http://goo.gl/B57ERn Each little "ball" is a request to the server On the left: the IP numbers from the users connecting around the world To the right: The url's being served up In the center: The "static calls being serviced by our front end T…

Cool visualization! But the top 50% of that (which seems to be the most dense) could have been completely avoided if you just slapped a CloudFront instance in front of it.

Is it possible to change the font? It is so, narrow and tall. Something else I'd like to see. Make empty columns more narrow when empty to preserve space when it can be done. A bit off topic, but does there exists any app for these things native to OSX? I don't like these web-interfaces.

Hi, is open source, is really easy to change the font (on your own instance). The project have an API and the web (AngularJS) application, but anybody can build an application using the api like the web application, maybe an OSX native application. A native OSX client isn't in our road-map. An example of this is the taiga-ncurses application for terminal lovers :)

But the parent has a point. That font is really hard on the eyes.

Great job, both taiga and managing the peak so well. Any tips about the infraestructure you are running? Relaying on any PaSS or managing yourself?

Virtual machine, 1 core, 1 GB RAM, <20% CPU all the time.

Awesome.

I don't know -- by some guestimates fed into

http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

I ended up with an estimated 600USD/month bill ... so what would they gain by complicating their architecture when they're already able to handle the traffic?

Using CloudFlare instead of CloudFront would have meant, what, $20/month?

And what guestimates would those be? I doubt they are serving 10TB in static files per month.

If adding a CDN to your architecture is too much complication then I would definitely not want to use your product for my business. It's literally a question of pointing CloudFront to your server, and substituting the CloudFront assigned domain in for static assets.

Also, from what I can tell, they aren't handling the traffic. I have tried numerous times to use the "Open Live Instance" link and it does not work.
