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.

That is the most useless visualisation I think I've ever seen. I love it.

But the parent has a point. That font is really hard on the eyes.
Taiga design team here! We are currently using two fonts: - "Open Sans Condensed Light" for the titles. - "Droid Sans" for the text. Both are well known fonts and extremely used. We used Droid Sans in the text to make it easily readable. Titles are supposed to be readable, of course, but creative at the same time. We added the issue to review with more testers if they see that problem as well. Thanks for the feedback…
Great application, I'm especially impressed with the django/rest-framework backend (getting some ideas for my own project from looking at how you guys implemented permissions...)
That said, the first thing that jumped out when I tried it was the fonts. It seems like the use of tall and skinny fonts makes it hard to read and imo hurts the design.
Definitely get more feedback on those and check out other modern/popular webapps to get ideas!
Other than that great job!
(PS It'd be awesome if you guys blogged about your use with django/restframework/angular if you haven't already!)

Curious about why. I'd understand a social stigma against ad-based redirection services, but does that translate into a frown against all shorteners somehow? Or is there some other cause?
They obscure the destination, track users, and break at some point in the future leaving a bad link in the archives.
Some of these aren't properties exclusive to redirection sites... but I'll readily admit they're very much standard features there, while mostly not too common elsewhere.
