My friends at Kaleidos, developers of Taiga.io have now released their new free open source design tool to create beautiful user interfaces in collaboration with cross-domain teams.

Looks like it has cool components, libraries and other design systems support plus Native SVG!

Might need to give Figma a rest for a while and give this a spin.

I can sympathize with folks unhappy with their project management tools. My team and I went one step further and tried to build the tool we weren't able to find out there, htt://taiga.io.

We think our free, agile, open source tool has satisfied people. We're 1 year into it, gotten 100,000 registered users, and have been highlighted as one of the top 10 open source tools of 2014 and won the 2015 most valuable agile tool from the agile awards.

Hope it can help some of you.

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-startu...

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

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

The brightness represents the speed with which the code written by our awesome developers delivers data (aided of course the great hardware)

Had any of the balls gone past to the right, that would have been a serve we couldn't return. Try that, Federer!
