The font is really hard to read in Chrome on Windows 7 [0]. A bit better on Firefox/Win7 [1], but horizontal strokes are still very thin (look at H, L).

Please, everyone, test your web fonts on multiple platforms. It's not WYSIWYG.

Until you needed the internet, and then you connected to the internet... from your phone.

This article should just be titled "How I built X in a week" or "Working in a distraction-less environment made me more productive".
