Hi Taiga here. Thanks for your comments. We'll certainly talk about your thoughts seriously on our next monday morning developer team meeting. Please do loo at our code base (it's all on GitHub) would love to see what you think. Thanks.

Your company's website, kaleidos.net, is down with an "internal server error". I'm curious about companies established in Spain because I'm a Spaniard that moved to Germany 14 years ago and since becoming a freelancer three yeas ago I've considered moving back there, but each time I take a close look I get discouraged. In the page footer it says that Taiga is an LLC. Does it mean that you established it in the UK? How's your experience running such a business in Spain? Do you think it impacts your image wrt. reliability or quality in comparison with companies in other countries?

  Hi. You are right, Spain is not the most agile place to set up a company. We keep hoping that the government will take a genuine look at all the bureaucratic barriers and tear them down. But we're not holding our breath. Taiga is a US Limited Liability Company (which took 20 min and $300 to set up). In today's world location matters less and less. I wrote this article explaining what we are doing and why: https://medium.com/@taigaio/how-to-launch-an-american-startup-9e40892b000f https://medium.com/@taigaio/how-to-launch-an-american-startu...

Thx for taking this seriously. I guess my words were a bit harsh (which earned me a downvote, probably righfully so). My critique still stands though. I created a test account on taiga.io. It allowed me to use an unsafe, short password. Looking at the UX/UI I can only reiterate; it is highly important that you work on the design (details matter) . If you can't argue why a design element is presently on the screen, remove it. Only keep what is needed. IMHO https://waffle.io https://waffle.io is a great example what is possible. Same as trello. Maybe it makes sense to discard the current UI desgin completely, and work with something bootstrapped first. I also noticed on your company website that you are not making any use of font kerning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning .
