Working on standardizing the report HTML inside of our new client portal. Asciidoc templating is very interesting to work with.

This was kind of a glitch but now it is pointing in an exciting direction.

Exploring an alternate layout for the report and prototype display on the client page. I never was quite happy with the other one.

Tidying up, feeling decent about the look of this now. I also have autoplay going, though I think I am going to alter that so it only goes when they hit the middle of the viewport.

Chambers Sans proved just a little too rectilinear for long passages. So I spent some time figuring out a complementary body font for the blog. I settled on Seravek which has enough angular elements (I really like the lowercase b) to complement Chambers but also has enough curves to be friendlier to long text.
