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!)
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 :)
