I might be nitpicking, but your blog's permanent and space taking headers make the user experience very unwelcoming, and make the whole site feel unwieldy -- slow scrolling and a good amount of space being taken over for no reason.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! It's not my blog actually, we are a startup (hence the top bar for users), we will take the feedback on board, maybe we got a little excited with the size of the topbar :)

I think it's the combination of the top and bottom bar that make the site feel a little weird for me.

Worse than that: from my end on Chrome (beta) running in Ubuntu, the bars appear to stay in their original location when scrolling which makes them cover content and generally bug out. I could not read the article at all!

Hi there!

I've been a Glipho user since its recent launch... and I'd definitely say that you are being nitpicking :P

This is a newborn platform. Even though, it has a lot of things to do, it is a nice approach. You can't expect it to be a perfect fit in every way yet, can you?

Nevertheless, this post was about MongoDB, why focusing on usability?
