Connecting the UK Student Tech Scene

I just checked out codelaborate.org. What a shitty website! The design is nice, but the font is almost impossible to read. I assume it's because I'm on Windows (OS X usually renders fonts better than Windows), but it's a really good way to quickly alienate half of your target audience...

Thanks for the feedback. We're aware of an issue in certain browsers on some versions of Windows (boo hiss Windows font rendering) and will fix it as soon as we get a chance - though don't fear, the issue isn't actually affecting half of our audience! (didn't quite anticipate today's surge in popularity!)

Glad you shared your concerns but your comment could have been written much nicer & still achieved the same effect.

Yeah, I know, but I often don't do it, on purpose. It's an easy way to filter people, those who prefer the form from those who prefer the content.
